AmpScript Rss Feed

Question

Im trying to pull RSS feed into my email. I want to pull in the <content:encoded> as the full description and the image. I added "Set @xml = Replace(@xml1,'content:encoded','contentencoded')". I am using this:

   %%[ var @xml, @xml1, @nodes, @rowCount Set @xml = HTTPGet("https://www.tpcc.org/_assets/feeds/blog.php?blogname=daily-bible-reading", false, 0)
Set @xml = Replace(@xml1,'content:encoded','contentencoded') if indexOf(@xml,"<channel>") > 0 then

  set @nodes = BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,"/rss/channel/item",0)
  set @rowCount = rowcount(@nodes)


  if @rowCount > 1 then



    for @i = 1 to @rowCount do

      var @title
      var @description
      var @link


      set @nodepath = concat("/rss/channel/item[",@i,"]/")

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"))) > 0 then
          set @title = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"),0),1),'Value')
      endif

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"))) > 0 then
          set @description = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"),0),1),'Value')
      endif

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"))) > 0 then
          set @link = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"),0),1),'Value')
      endif



      ]%%

      %%[

    next @i

  else

   outputline(concat("<br>no items found"))

  endif

else

  outputline(concat("<br>no XML found"))

endif

]%%

I am getting "no XML found"

This may be a double post.

You can change the criteria of your loop to stop at 1 instead of @rowCount. That will pull only the first item.

%%[

set @xml = HTTPGet("https://www.tpcc.org/_assets/feeds/blog.php?blogname=daily-bible-reading", false, 0)
set @nodes = BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,"/rss/channel/item",0)
set @rowCount = rowcount(@nodes)

if @rowCount > 0 then
    for @i = 1 to 1 do
      var @title, @description, @link

      set @nodepath = concat("/rss/channel/item[",@i,"]/")

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"))) > 0 then
          set @title = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"),0),1),'Value')
      endif

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"))) > 0 then
          set @description = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"),0),1),'Value')
      endif

      if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"))) > 0 then
          set @link = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"),0),1),'Value')
      endif
  next @i
endif
]%%

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">  
  <tr><td>@description</td><td>%%=v(@description)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@i</td><td>%%=v(@i)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@link</td><td>%%=v(@link)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@nodepath</td><td>%%=v(@nodepath)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@nodes</td><td>%%=v(@nodes)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@rowCount</td><td>%%=v(@rowCount)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@title</td><td>%%=v(@title)=%%</td></tr>
  <tr><td>@xml</td><td>%%=v(@xml)=%%</td></tr>
</table>

Or you can eliminate the loop:

%%[

set @xml = HTTPGet("https://www.tpcc.org/_assets/feeds/blog.php?blogname=daily-bible-reading", false, 0)
set @nodes = BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,"/rss/channel/item",0)
set @rowCount = rowcount(@nodes)

if @rowCount > 0 then

  set @nodepath = concat("/rss/channel/item[1]/")

  if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"))) > 0 then
    set @title = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"title"),0),1),'Value')
  endif

  if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"))) > 0 then
    set @description = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"description"),0),1),'Value')
  endif

  if rowcount(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"))) > 0 then
    set @link = Field(Row(BuildRowsetFromXML(@xml,concat(@nodepath,"link"),0),1),'Value')
  endif

endif
