Feed Type and Version Detection¶

Universal Feed Parser attempts to autodetect the type and version of the feeds it parses. There are many subtle and not-so-subtle differences between the different versions of RSS, and applications may choose to handle different feed types in different ways.

Accessing feed version¶

>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom10.xml')
>>> d.version
'atom10'
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/atom03.xml')
>>> d.version
'atom03'
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/rss20.xml')
>>> d.version
'rss20'
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/rss20dc.xml')
>>> d.version
'rss20'
>>> d = feedparser.parse('http://feedparser.org/docs/examples/rss10.rdf')
>>> d.version
'rss10'

Here is the complete list of known feed types and versions that may be returned in version:

rss090: RSS 0.90
rss091n: Netscape RSS 0.91
rss091u: Userland RSS 0.91 (differences from Netscape RSS 0.91)
rss10: RSS 1.0
rss092: RSS 0.92
rss093: RSS 0.93
rss094: RSS 0.94 (no accurate specification is known to exist)
rss20: RSS 2.0
rss: RSS (unknown or unrecognized version)
atom01: Atom 0.1
atom02: Atom 0.2
atom03: Atom 0.3
atom10: Atom 1.0
atom: Atom (unknown or unrecognized version)
cdf: CDF

If the feed type is completely unknown, version will be an empty string.
