Parse Feeds/Blogs From External Sites To Your Rails App

Step 1

Add gem in your gem file

gem 'feedzirra'

Run the bundle install

Step 2

Go to your required controller and add the following at top.

require 'feedzirra'

Step 3

In your controller create a method and add the following block to fetch feeds from external sites


feed = Feedzirra::Feed.fetch_and_parse("http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch/gaming")
@entry = feed.entries

It will fetch the list of feeds from the blog site.

Step 4

Add the following block in your view page


<%@entry.each do |feed|%>
 <%= link_to "#{feed.title.sanitize}", "#{feed.url}",:target => "_blank" %>
 <%=feed.author%>  
 <%=feed.published%>
 <%=feed.categories %>
<%end%>
