# Setting Up MRSS Feed with Outbound Feeds Source: https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/setting-up-mrss-feed-with-outbound-feeds/ ## Feed Setup The MRSS feed is a platform level Arc feed block with configurable and customizable parameters. See [How to set up and configure an Outbound Feed](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/how-to-set-up-and-configure-an-outbound-feed/) to configure the Media RSS feed. ## Channel Configuration ### 1\. **RSS Title** Value for RSS title. default: `feedTitle environment value` ### 2\. **RSS Description** Value for RSS description. default: `feedTitle + " News Feed"` ### 3\. RSS Language Value for RSS language using an [ISO-639](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-language-codes) value. If left blank it will default to the value of feedLanguage set in your blocks.json. The tag can be removed by entering “Exclude” in the field. default: `blank (uses feedLanguage)` ### 4\. **Logo URL** Optional fully qualified URL of an image to use as the logo for the RSS feed. default: `no logo` ## Item Configuration ### 1\. **Title** Arc XP Native Specification (ANS) field(s) to use for the article headline, supports a JMESPath statement. default: `headlines.basic` ### 2\. **Description** ANS field(s) to use for the article description, supports a JMESPath statement. default: `description.basic` ### 3\. **Publication Date** ANS date field to display. Select one: `created_date`, `display_date`, `first_publish_date`, `last_updated_date`, or `publish_date` default: `display_date` ## Featured-Image”> `Featured Image` ### 1\. **Include promo Images** Yes/No should the `promo_items` be added to `media:content`. default: `true` ### 2\. **Image height and or width** A set of key value pairs where you can set an integer height and or width to resize all images. Zero means no resizing will be performed. default: `height: 0, width: 0` ### 3\. **ANS image title key** ANS field for the `promo_items` title. default: `title` ### 4\. **ANS image caption key** ANS field for the `promo_items` caption. default: `caption` ### 5\. **ANS image credits key** ANS field for the `promo_items` credits. default: `credits.by[].name` ## Video ### **1\. Select Video Using Key/Value Pairs** Criteria to be used to match a video encoding. default: `{ bitrate: 5400, stream_type: ‘mp4’ }` ## Resolver Configuration Each feed template needs to have a resolver applied. To [create a resolver](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/setting-up-resolvers-for-outbound-feeds/), you must configure the following fields: ### 1\. **Resolver Name** Unique name given to the resolver ### 2\. **Resolver Priority** Number to indicate priority order regex will be evaluated in (1 to 100). Lower numbers are evaluated first. ### 3\. **Regex Pattern** ``` ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` ### 4\. **URL Parameters** ![setting url parameters PageBuilder](https://dev.arcxp.com/_astro/KB0010290-1.D3GS9Xkc_Z1hOlOU.webp) ### 5\. **Websites** all ### 6\. **Content Source** feeds-content-api There are also two optional content sources available out-of-the-box. See [Content sources with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/content-sources-with-outbound-feeds/) for more information. ### 7\. **Patterns** These positions come from the regex pattern. There are a number of ways to pass a section (or author, keyword or tag) to the content source from the resolver. All of them use a grouping () in the regex. **Section** \- Pattern 1 ```regex ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` **Author** \- Pattern 2 ```regex ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` **Keywords** \- Pattern 3 ```regex ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` **Tags - Text** \- Pattern 4 ```regex ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` **Tags - Slug** \- Pattern 5 ```regex ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/category/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/author/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/keyword/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags/(.*)/?$| ^/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/tags_slug/(.*)/?$ ``` **Include - Terms** ```json [{"term":{"type":"video"}},{"range":{"publish_date":{"gte":"now-2d","lte":"now"}}}] ``` We need to modify the default query so it will only return videos. The date you selected to display for Last Updated Date should also be used in the query. For more details on custom queries, see [How to create a custom query with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/how-to-create-a-custom-query-with-outbound-feeds/). **Exclude - Terms** If you need to exclude terms in your query, i.e. NOT, enter them here as an array formatted the same as the Include-Terms. For example to exclude all content with language “es” you would use `[{“term”:{“language”: “es”}}]`. For more details on custom queries, see [How to create a custom query with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/how-to-create-a-custom-query-with-outbound-feeds/). **Exclude - Sections** You can enter a comma separated list of sections to exclude. For example `/premium`,`/paid-content`. **Feed - Size** Integer 1 to 100\. Defaults to `100`. If you added a size URL parameter, select the parameter option and select size and enter a default value. **Feed - Offset** Integer. `Defaults to 0`. If you added a from URL parameter, select the parameter option and select from and enter a default value. **Sort** \- publish\_date:desc If left blank it will default to `publish_date:desc`. Which ever date field you selected to display for the Last Modified Date is the date you should enter here. The format is `date_field` \+ `:` \+ `sort order` (`desc` or `asc`). Valid date fields are `created_date`, `display_date`, `first_publish_date`, `last_updated_date`, or `publish_date`. **Source-Exclude** \- A comma separated list of ANS fields to remove from the default list of ANS fields. See the default list of fields on [Content sources with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/content-sources-with-outbound-feeds/#included-data). **Source-Include** \- A comma separated list of ANS fields to add to the default list of ANS fields. See the default list of fields on [Content sources with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/content-sources-with-outbound-feeds/#included-data). **Include - Distributor - Name** If you only want content from a single distributor, enter the name here. You may only populate one distributor field. **Exclude - Distributor - Name** If you want to exclude content from a single distributor, enter the name here. You may only populate one distributor field. **Include - Distributor - Category** If you only want content from a single distributor category, enter the name here. You may only populate one distributor field. **Exclude - Distributor - Category** If you want to exclude content from a single distributor category, enter the name here. You may only populate one distributor field. ### 8\. **Default Template** Select the template you just created mrss-feed to use with this resolver. ### 9\. **Default output type** Select xml. ### 10\. **Content Mapped Template** blank ## Media RSS URL To preview your MRSS XML, modify the URL below with your client org and website name. ``` https://outboundfeeds.{CLIENTORG}.arcpublishing.com/pf/arc/outboundfeeds/mrss/?_website={CLIENTWEBSITE} ``` ![Media RSS xml file](https://dev.arcxp.com/_astro/KB0010293-2.tWFJTAj-_1bISc.webp) ## Additional Information - [How to set up and configure an Outbound Feed](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/how-to-set-up-and-configure-an-outbound-feed/) - [Content sources with Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/content-sources-with-outbound-feeds/) - [How to use Jmespath to map to custom fields ANS values in Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/how-to-use-jmespath-to-map-to-customfields-ans-values-in-outbound-feeds/) - [Setting up resolvers for Outbound Feeds](https://dev.arcxp.com/arc-io/developer-docs/setting-up-resolvers-for-outbound-feeds/) - [Regex Debugger](https://regex101.com/)
