"get feed": max length

alexxxm · 01-21-2008, 09:43 AM

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the two last times I retrieved the NYTimes by libprs500' "get feeds", I got respectively 1999 pages, and 1998 pages.

So I was wondering ... I dont' know what the program uses (html2lrf? web2lrf?), but - it is possible there's an hardcoded limit of 2000 pages?

let me know...

You can't set a page limit as page numbers are meaningless (they depend on font size for e.g.) There is a parameter max_articles_per_feed that you can adjust, but to do that you'd have to essentially create your own nytimes profile.
