RSS feed reader in Labview

[RTSLVU]

Does anyone have an example of a Labview based RSS feed reader?

I would like to be able to grab the current weather conditions from the NWB RSS feeds

Since we are right next to the local airport it would be cheaper than installing our own weather station.

If not anyone got a good explanation of what an RSS feed is so I could write my own?

Hi RTSLVU,

did you try to use a miniapp from Windows 7. 😉

They should be out there somewhere.

However to get started have a look at my 'getTwitter Status'

If you install the JKI Easy XML toolkit you will have an example RSS reader in the  Example Finder

Could you point me to your 'getTwitter Status' example?

I searched for it here but came up empty.

RSS feeds are in XML format. The JKI Software EasyXML Toolkit includes an example for reading RSS feeds.

You can also use the LabVIEW Import Web Service to access a WSDL service to get the weather. The address for the service I've used in the past is:

http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?wsdl

Just import this and call the VIs in order with a zipcode and/or city name and you're in!
