Ask TRYNT: Why can't I get your web services to "validate?"

Q: I can't use your movie comment feed with Magpie. It doesn't display anything. I also tried using other online rss readers but they won't show your feed. Then I tried validating your feed, but it says not valid? Is this a bug or is it me?

• Feed Validator
  

A: The reason our movie comment "web service" doesn't "validate" is because it's not a "feed" but rather a "web service." The feed validation tool you are using validates Atom, RDF and RSS feeds. Our web service returns an XML data structure (which may appear visually similar at first glance) but it is not in valid Atom, RDF or RSS format. You may have better luck visualizing our XML using a more generic XML parser like the one found at FeedMeme.

Stay tuned for our 2.0 version of this web service which will support Serialized-PHP output. If you take advantage of this output format you can skip the XML parsing all together.

Hope this helps!
