RSS Feeds

RSS feeds enable users to view the latest and most important stories allAfrica.com. Current items in English and French are available across the 85 categories that are found on our site. The headline can be viewed for personal use or on a website, as long as proper formatting is maintained and material is correctly attributed. Any web site displaying the headlines must include a link to AllAfrica home page (at http://allafrica.com/ or http://fr.allafrica.com/) or to the main page of the feed that you're using (such as http://allafrica.com/business).

How Do I Start

To access RSS feeds for personal use, you need either a news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content from allAfrica.com or other Web sites you select. There are a variety of news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Several Web-based news readers are available as well. Useful lists of both types can be found on Google and Yahoo!.

To display AllAfrica headlines or stories on your reader or software, choose from any of the categories on the complete listing above or click on the RSS link on any headline page on our site.

Headlines on a Web Site

The following URL will generate the Business, Economy & Finance summary:

http://allafrica.com/tools/headlines/rdf/business/headlines.rdf

The string business in the above URL specifies the category. The available categories are listed in this table.

For the French feeds, the server should be fr.allafrica.com. So the French, West Africa request would be:

http://fr.allafrica.com/tools/headlines/rdf/westafrica/headlines.rdf
