I want to validate RSS feed URL before its process for parsing. I am using willvincent/feeds library for this.
$feed = Feeds::make($rssurl);
$items = $feed->get_items();
I am parsing RSS feed like above.
So how can validate the RSS feed URL before parsing using willvincent/feeds library.
'willvincent/feeds' is just a service provider for Laravel. You should refer to SimplePie documentation, and use the error()
method to check if url throws errors. This method holds the error description.
$feed = Feeds::make('http://some-bogus-feed-url');
if($feed->error()){
//handle the feed error
}
