I am developing an application that reads a RSS channel from a website. The problem is that this RSS offers results of football matches on the last weekend, but I am also interested on previous weekends.

Is it possible to request RSS information of previous dates, not only the last one?

Thanks!

Not if the web site does not offer it. An RSS feed is from the clients perspective just a simple XML file, and it is quite likely that what you get from the web site is the only thing they are publishing at the moment.

Your options are to:

  • Check if the site publishes the data via some other feed, or if they offer some other way of getting older data.
  • Implement your own memory of results.

  • I'm afraid I'm going with second option. The site does not offer older data, and if they do it's like a summary of previous post, not the whole information I need. Thanks!! – elitalon May 12 '11 at 15:16
