Search in Subscriptions

Earlier, in July, when we asked our customers what they wanted our redesign to include, a few of them mentionned that it was sometimes hard for them to find a given subscription or a set of subscriptions matching specific requirements.

Today, we’re happy to introduce our search in subscriptions feature. It’s a fairly simple mechanism: when asking for the list of subscriptions, you can just include a search extra query string parameter to match a more specific subset of subscriptions.

Our docs already include the list of fieds you can use to find specific subscriptions. They include:

Format of the subscription
Exact feed url
Hostname of the feed url
inurl for the feed url which will match subsets of the url
Exact webhook url (hub.callback)
Exact hostname of the webhook url
inurl for the webhook url which will match subsets of the url.

Try it yourself!

$ curl -D- -X GET https://push.superfeedr.com/ \
-u'demo:e5cab21156449745c2c0c4f77f6e3b69' \
-d'hub.mode=list' \
-d'search[feed][inurl]=nytimes'

This should yield something like this:

[
    {
        "subscription": {
            "format": null,
            "endpoint": "http://my.webhook.com/path",
            "secret": null,
            "feed": {
                "title": "NYT > Home Page",
                "url": "http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
            }
        }
    }
]

Obviously, we’ll be self-dogfooding this in our brand new dashboard, which is coming soon now!
