Universal Feed Parser

Besides an author, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of contributors. Universal Feed Parser makes these available as a list.

Example: Accessing contributors

>>> import feedparser
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml')
>>> e = d.entries[0]
>>> len(e.contributors)
2
>>> e.contributors[0]
{'name': u'Joe',
 'href': u'http://example.org/joe/',
 'email': u'joe@example.org'}
>>> e.contributors[1]
{'name': u'Sam',
 'href': u'http://example.org/sam/',
 'email': u'sam@example.org'}

Besides an alternate link, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of other links. Each link is distinguished by its type attribute, which is a MIME-style content type, and its rel attribute.

Example: Accessing multiple links

>>> import feedparser
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml')
>>> e = d.entries[0]
>>> len(e.links)
4
>>> e.links[0]
{'rel': u'alternate',
 'type': u'text/html',
 'href': u'http://example.org/entry/3'}
>>> e.links[1]
{'rel': u'related',
 'type': u'text/html',
 'href': u'http://search.example.com/'}
>>> e.links[2]
{'rel': u'via',
 'type': u'text/html',
 'href': u'http://toby.example.com/examples/atom10'}
>>> e.links[3]
{'rel': u'enclosure',
 'type': u'video/mpeg4',
 'href': u'http://www.example.com/movie.mp4',
 'length': u'42301'}
