Liberal Democrat News Feeds
Prater Raines provides two news feed services which you can use free of charge on your Liberal Democrat web site.
RSS feeds
If your web site application supports RSS feeds, we have feeds available which merge the content from existing Liberal Democrat news feeds and present them together.
These feeds are now generated using Yahoo! Pipes, a free online service that lets you remix feeds using a visual editor. If you are registered with Yahoo! and logged in you can view the source for all the pipes and can "clone" them and make your own changes. To get the RSS address for a pipe, choose "More options" and then "Get as RSS".
- British Liberal Democrat news (Westminster, Scottish, and Welsh): http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=HrAkGSpP3RG_TAQqjknRlg&_render=rss;
- Federal Liberal Democrat news (as above and European): http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=f5155abef8cf331a1fece4bc1a9da82f&_render=rss;
- Lib Dem Women in Parliament: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=8Pneh2vs3BGu2lCkX0sBXw&_render=rss.
In addition, the four constituent parts of our British and Federal feeds are available from other Liberal Democrat web sites and are listed here for your convenience.
- Liberal Democrat news from Westminster: http://feeds.libdems.org.uk/libdemnews?format=xml;
- The "News from Liberal Democrat MEPs" feed has disappeared in what appears to be a rebuild of the MEP website. The site doesn't look finished yet so we're not suggesting an alternative feed for the time being.
- Welsh Liberal Democrat news: http://www.welshlibdems.org.uk/e-rss.php;
- Scottish Liberal Democrat news: http://www.scotlibdems.org.uk/rss.xml.
JavaScript news feed insert
If your web site does not support RSS, we can generate HTML code which should work on any web site. This uses JavaScript (a scripting language which runs on your visitors' web browsers) to insert a list of the latest headlines.
You can generate the HTML to insert into your web page with the form below.
