Hi,

I stumbled upon a hitch:-

How to extract article url from facebook feed?

There is a website which publishes the article and updates on facebook..

Here is the URL
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page....6&format=rss20

How can we parse_feed to point the article to actual URL rather than the facebook URL?

Finally got it..
Here's the code

PHP Code:

    def parse_feeds(self):
        feeds = BasicNewsRecipe.parse_feeds(self)
        for feed in feeds:
            for article in feed.articles[:]:
                soup = BeautifulSoup(article.summary)
                x = soup.find("a")
                url = urllib.unquote(x["href"])
                m = re.findall(r"(http://orfonline.*mmacmaid=\d*)", url)
                if m:
                    article.url = m[0]        
        return feeds 


This does the trick...
