Setting Up Standard ANS Block with Outbound Feeds

The standard ANS block is an out-of-the-box template that uses no custom fields to quickly and easily set up, configure and manage your feed.

Feed Setup

The ANS Article feed returns a single JSON object using either the items _id or website_url. It shares the standard ANS feed template, but uses two new resolvers, one for _id and one for website_url.

See How to set up and configure an Outbound Feed to configure the standard ANS feed if one does not already exist.

ANS Configuration

The ANS feed has no customFields to configure.

Resolver Configuration

Each feed template needs to have a resolver applied, but can have multiple resolvers. To create a resolver, you must configure the fields on this section. This section details the fields to create two resolvers, one for searching by _id and a second one to search by website_url. Where values differ between the two resolvers, they will be called out with 1 for _id and 2 for website_url.
