Aaronpk XRay Versions Save

Version 1.5 is the first to implement Post Type Discovery.

A new property is returned with every post, post-type, which indicates the specific post type as determined by the Post Type Discovery algorithm.

Other changes since the last release notes:

New features:

• Supports quotation-of in Microformats posts and tweets
• Parse h-app including u-redirect-uri as well as <link rel="redirect_uri"> values
• Support parsing Instagram user pages as feeds
• Parse Instagram profile URLs, and include bio in h-card
• Updates to php-mf2 0.4.4-alpha release

Bugfixes:

• When interpreting JSON, don't require a value property for HTML values, generating the plaintext version
• Fixes for several changes to Instagram's undocumented APIs
• Switch to an HTML5 parser for better parsing results
• Fixes for whitespace handling in <br> tags
• Include in-reply-to URL for tweets
• Fixes for Atom vs RSS parsing
• Updates to work with Twitter's streaming JSON which is slightly different than their REST API

Certain markup was causing photo posts to have the photo appear twice, one in the photo property and the second as an img tag in the post content. This release adds some additional logic to remove photos from the content of photo posts, so that consumers will only render the photo once.

If an item has multiple URLs, then instead of always returning the first, XRay now returns the URL that's on the same domain that the item was fetched from.

• Fixes recognizing some content types for XML feeds
• Fixes timeout parameter for feed fetching

Some new functionality for parsing feeds using XRay!

• Parses feeds of the following types: Microformats, JSONFeed, Atom and RSS
• Adds a feed discovery API to return a list of all feeds advertised by a URL
• Parses public Facebook events
• Bugfix for comparing URLs with no path component

Now supports Instagram's multi-photo posts by including multiple photo URLs in the parsed result if the Instagram post contains multiple photos.

For any Instagram multi-posts that include videos, only the poster frame is used. See https://indieweb.org/multi-photo_vs_collection for more details on solving this use case.

This release adds support for parsing checkin data from a page, as well as for parsing Hackernews URLs.

Example checkin:

• https://xray.p3k.io/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Faaronparecki.com%2F2017%2F06%2F07%2F12%2F&pretty=true

Example Hackernews comment:

• https://xray.p3k.io/parse?url=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14516923&pretty=true

This release updates the Microformats parser to version 0.3.2. See the release notes for details.
