[paid] Friends Page RSS

LiveJournal provides feeds of journals, but there are no feeds of friends pages. If you wish to subscribe to your friends' entries using a feed aggregator, you can add each of your friends' individual feeds. Alternatively, if you have a paid, permanent or early adopter account, you can use a specially designed custom style to subscribe to all of your friends at once.

  • First, you will need to mark the S1 style #670763 trusted. You can do this at the Admin Console, using the following command:
    set trusted_s1 670763
  • Then you will be able to use the following URL (after replacing exampleusername with your own username) to subscribe to your friends page in an RSS aggregator:
    http://exampleusername.livejournal.com/data/customview?styleid=670763

Note that protected entries will not appear in this feed. If your RSS reader supports cookies, you can add "&checkcookies=1" to the end of the URL to see the protected entries.

If you wish the feed to contain entries from only one certain friends group, you may need to make that group default view. Alternatively, if your RSS aggregator supports cookies, you can use a "filter" parameter with "&checkcookies=1" to filter your friends page. For information on using the filter parameter, please refer to the Guide on customview.
