Cincopa RSS Feeds

RSS feed is a system where information of all the websites registered with it, is gathered and shared among its users.

RSS feeds are like a social media feed but instead of users sharing a feed in social media, here all feeds are everything that a website publishes.

With RSS it is possible to distribute up-to-date web content from one web site to thousands of other web sites around the world.

Using feeds to integrate your site with Cincopa

Yes, you read it right. Cincopa allows you to publish your Cincopa galleries as a feed so that your visitors can use the feed to integrate it in their website.

With Cincopa, Integration of RSS Feeds with your site is possible using two types of feeds.

  1. XML Feeds:

The first type is XML based feeds like RSS that your server-side script can fetch and use the inside links to create your output HTML.

This type of feed will also allow you to develop your own flash-based animation, slideshow or video player.

  1. JSON Feeds:

The second type is JSON feed that you can use with your JavaScript client-side HTML code.
