RSS Feeds for Statistics and News

World Community Grid provides three RSS feeds which can be used to check statistics for the entire community, a specific team or a specific member. RSS is a standard form of publishing information that is in use by many websites. For more information about RSS please read about it on Wikipedia.

Global RSS Feed
The global RSS feed contains the statistics for the entire member community. It can be accessed via the following URL:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rssGlobal.xml

Team RSS Feed
The team RSS feed contains the statistics for a specific team. It can be accessed via the following URL:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=team&teamId=XYZ

Please note that the characters 'XYZ' need to be replaced by the appropriate team id. You can locate the team id by looking at the URL when you are visiting a team's information page. For example, if you are looking at the Slashdot Users team then you will see that the URL in your browser is:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=855RSMBR9N1

Therefore the team id for the Slashdot Users team is '855RSMBR9N1'. Therefore the RSS feed for the Slashdot Users team is:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=team&teamId=855RSMBR9N1

Member RSS Feed
The member RSS feed contains the statistics for a specific member. It can be accessed via the following URL:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=member&userName=XYZ

Please note that the characters 'XYZ' need to be replaced by the appropriate member name. For example, the RSS feed for member 'mkmeyers' is:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=member&userName=mkmeyers

For those with a space in their member name, substitute each space with %20 . E.g. Joe Doe would become http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=member&userName=Joe%20Doe

News Feed
The main World Community Grid news feed can be accessed via the following URL:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss_main.php

Forum Feeds (introduced January 2008)
The Recent Threads and all Forums now have their individual feed represented by the and icons, usual left bottom of the page. The ones for the overall list is found in the top bar next to 'Help' printed in white. Each Forum's RSS link is found at the top of the actual Forum thread listings next to the count summary like:
All threads in this forum: (219 Posts in 197 Threads) <--

More information needed?
This can be found in the Help topic Do you have an XML interface for the statistics?
