About the feeds

Scene.org offers two RSS/2.0 feeds to add dynamic scene.org content to your website. Both feeds are generated on request, so they are always up-to-date. RSS is a frequently used standard to exchange website data between different sites, and stands for Really Simple Syndication. You can find more information about the RSS standard at the Harvard Law RSS 2.0 specification website.

One of the feeds offers the latest Scene.org newspostings. This allows you to include real-life news about the latest parties and other Scene.org happenings on your website. The other feed sums up all the new files that were added to the archive, so your visitors can easily access the newest demoscene productions.

How to use them

The feeds can easily be accessed through the following URLs:

News feed
The newsfeed can be requested by opening http://www.scene.org/news.rss.pxml. This returns the last 10 newsitems by default, but if you want more or maybe less items you can define this by using the ?items=number_of_items argument like this:
http://www.scene.org/news.rss.pxml?items=50 which returns 50 items.

New files feed
A list of the newest files in the archive can by requested by opening http://www.scene.org/files.rss.pxml. By default this will result in a list of all new files uploaded within the last 7 days. However if you want the new files from an other time period you can use the ?daysback=number_of_days argument like this:
http://www.scene.org/files.rss.pxml?daysback=1 which will return all files uploaded yesterday.

Also if you only want new releases from a specific category you can specify that with the ?category=categoryname argument like this:
http://www.scene.org/files.rss.pxml?category=music/groups which will return all files uploaded in the music/groups section during the last 7 days.

http://www.scene.org/files.rss.pxml?category=music/groups&daysback=1 will return all files uploaded in the music/groups section yesterday (1 day back).

Valid categories are:

• demos
• demos/groups
• demos/artists
• music
• music/groups
• music/artists
• graphics
• graphics/groups
• graphics/artists
• parties
• resources

Jobs feed
The job opportunities feed can be requested by opening http://www.scene.org/jobs.rss.pxml. This returns the last 10 jobs by default; you can specify a different number of items with the ?items=number_of_items in the same way as the news feed.

These feeds are free to use for everyone. If the feeds do not entirely suit your needs, feel free to contact www@scene.org so we can look at your specific needs.
