parse

✓ from fastfeedparser import parse

Main parsing function, not a class.

Minimal example to parse a feed and print title, link, and entries.

from fastfeedparser import parse feed_url = 'https://example.com/feed.xml' result = parse(feed_url) print(result.title, result.link) for entry in result.entries: print(entry.title, entry.link, entry.published)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `parse` function returns a `Feed` object, not a dict. Access attributes directly (e.g., `result.title`) rather than using `result['title']`.

fix

Use dot notation: `result.title`, `entry.link`, etc.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `raw` parameter in `parse` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

fix

Remove the `raw` parameter; the library now always returns parsed objects.

affects: >=0.5.0

gotchaIf the feed URL returns non-UTF-8 content, parsing may fail. Ensure the server returns UTF-8 or handle encoding manually.

fix

Use requests to fetch content and pass bytes to `parse` with explicit encoding.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'title'

The returned object is None (parsing failed) but code tries to access `.title`.

fix

Check if the result is None: `if result is not None: print(result.title)`

ImportError: cannot import name 'FastFeedParser' from 'fastfeedparser'

Incorrect import; there is no class with that name.

fix

Use `from fastfeedparser import parse`.

TypeError: parse() got an unexpected keyword argument 'raw'

Using deprecated `raw` parameter removed in newer versions.

fix

Remove `raw=True` from the parse call.
