Debugging Feeds

Feeds are unique snowflakes that change over time; today’s issue may be gone tomorrow. If you experience an issue, please follow these guidelines to capture a copy of the feed.

1. Download a copy of the feed:

    curl -sv "$FEED_URL" 2> headers.txt | xmllint --format - > feed.xml
   

   If the feed contains an syntax error, don’t try to pretty-print it:

    curl -sv "$FEED_URL" 2> headers.txt > feed.xml
   

   This will save a copy of the feed and the request’s headers

2. Create a Gist. If you have the gist command line tool installed:

    gist feed.xml headers.txt
   

3. Include a link to the gist when you email support@feedbin.com
