As of now, we only have a top blogged videos RSS feed. However, it's very flexible and probably suitable for most of your needs. The base URL is:

http://www.bloggedvideos.com/rsstop.php

That will bring you our videos in the default configuration, Babel version showing the 10 most blogged videos in the last 7 days, linking to www.bloggedvideos.com, as that's the default location. In order to adjust the behavior of the RSS feed to your needs, you can choose the following parameters, for a more advanced experience. It's pretty straightforward:

  • lang={yourlanguage} where {yourlanguage} stands for the languages in the system: pt, es, de, en, fr, gl, it, nl, ro, se, among others...
  • days={days} where {days} stands for the number of days that you want to get your videos.
  • num={number} where {number} stands for the number of videos that you want to appear in the RSS feed.
  • www={true or false} makes the link to www.bloggedvideos.com instead of {yourlanguage}.bloggedvideos.com. This is useful for the languages that don't yet have a web interface like this.
  • titles_as_ids={true or false} is for the people who are getting many repeated videos with different titles. The technical reason is that some RSS readers do not handle well GUID fields in RSS, considering the titles to be their unique element identifier instead. In those readers, the videos will appear to be "fading" when the period of their exhibition is expiring, as the titles will be changing to the oldest post title in that period, discarding the rest. As such, they usually change when a very popular video is going out of the scene. In order to avoid this, you can set this to true so that the titles always appear as "provider/provider_id" avoiding this undesired effect.

[edit] Examples

If you want to watch only the 5 most blogged videos blogged by English language blogs, excluding all the rest, in the last 3 days, you would choose:

http://www.bloggedvideos.com/rsstop.php?lang=en&days=3&num=5

If you want to watch the 3 most blogged videos in the last 15 days in italian language, and you want to have the videos opening in www.bloggedvideos.com instead of it.bloggedvideos.com (that doesn't exist as of now), you would choose:

http://www.bloggedvideos.com/rsstop.php?lang=it&days=15&num=3&www=1
