RDF/RSS Headline Modules

About

AllAfrica's Headline Modules allow web sites to display up-to-the-minute, sorted, categorized news from the AllAfrica feeds.

Availability

Current news in English and French is available across the 85 categories that make up the AllAfrica Latest News service. Access to these Headlines Modules is free. The service is supported by advertising revenues generated when users click through to the allAfrica.com website.

The RSS/RDF module is intended for websites that use content management tools that understand RSS/RDF, or for web programmers who are interested in writing server-side scripts that process the headlines. The module generates XML that is compliant with the 0.9.1 RDF definition (which should work with most extant versions of RSS/RDF tools). A JavaScript module that supports an HTML-based "cut and paste" approach is also offered.

Terms and Conditions

AllAfrica provides the headline modules at no charge and on an "as-is" basis. We specifically disclaim any representations or warranties, express or implied. Any site that chooses to use this service specifically acknowledges and agrees that AllAfrica is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the headline modules.

As a condition for using the RSS feed, we ask that you credit allAfrica.com and that you link to either the AllAfrica home page (at http://allafrica.com or http://fr.allafrica.com) or to the main page of the feed that you're using (such as http://allafrica.com/business/).

Instructions

The following URL will generate the Business, Economy & Finance summary:

http://allafrica.com/tools/headlines/rdf/business/headlines.rdf

The string business in the above URL specifies the category. The available categories are listed in this table.

For the French feeds, the server should be fr.allafrica.com. So the French, West Africa request would be:

http://fr.allafrica.com/tools/headlines/rdf/westafrica/headlines.rdf
