## Dependencies + none ## Input Terminals + json_rss_in: (expected message type: a feedmagik json object) ## Output Terminals + textscrap_collection_out (An array of textscraps to be emedded in another viewing infotron somwhere) ## Properties + none ## Demos that use it + 43.html + evdb.html + rss\_feeds\_timeline.html ## How does it work? If you use another infotron (HttpProxy, for instance) to get the feed off feedmagik, you'll receive a json object as described below. This blueprint will convert the feed to a generic textscrap array which is used by several other blueprints.
