Outrix RSS Extension and Outrix RSS Feed
March 23, 2008 – 9:49 amOutrix RSS Feed (from now on will be referred as ‘RSS Feed’ or simply ‘feed’ for convenience) - is an XML file in RSS 2.0 format with product data provided by Outrix Affiliate Program for webmasters.
Outrix RSS is an extension, enhancing abilities of RSS 2.0, enabling partners to create their websites using all the promotion materials available for each product. For more detailed description of elements which are added into RSS Feed structure by Outrix RSS Extension, read below.
Currently several RSS Feeds are available:
- http://www.gambana.com/xml/channelname.rss - all the games,
- http://www.lacombo.com/xml/channelname.rss - all the screensavers,
- there are also separate feeds for specific categories of games and screensavers.
URLs of feeds for each of your channels can be found in Outrix control panel. The download and purchase links for each product contain unique name of your channel. To find the RSS feed you need, please do the following:
- log in using your username and password.
- switch to “Channels” tab.
- choose a channel you want. Popup window will appear, containing the links to various RSS Feeds.
If you’d prefer a turnkey solution to create portal with games/screensavers, we suggest using WordPress (which is completely free), which you can install yourself within 5 minutes, and Outrix Feed plugin for WordPress, which will do all the work of adding games/screensavers to your website on your behalf.
