''Updated FAQ entry for RSS feeds''
 
  
== RSS Feeds ==
 
 
===Available Feeds===
 
;Human-readable forum feed:
 
:https://themixingbowl.org/rss.xml
 
;Direct torrent download feed:
 
:https://themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml
 
 
===Authentication===
 
To access the feeds, you need to authenticate with your TMB user credentials. There are two ways to do this
 
* if your client supports it, it will prompt you for your credentials
 
* directly provide your credentials in the URL like this:
 
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rss.xml
 
 
===Filtering===
 
 
Without any restrictions in the URL, the feed will contain all new torrents. You will need use your client downloader settings to filter.
 
But you can also restrict your feed to a particular tag, artist, dates etc of torrents by adding filters to the above URL.
 
 
====Examples====
 
* to get a feed of torrents tagged as jungle for your torrent client use this url:
 
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:jungle
 
 
*more examples:
 
 
[https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:readers%20mixes  https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:readers mixes]
 
[https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:annie%20on%20one  https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:annie on one]
 
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=title:nocturnal
 
https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=leechers:1
 
 
*multiple filter examples:
 
 
[https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:essential%20mix,%20date:2010,%20codec:mp3 https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:essential mix, date:2010, codec:mp3]
 
[https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=bookmarked:yes,%20snatched:no,%20seeders:1 https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=bookmarked:yes, snatched:no, seeders:1]
 
[https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:Breezeblock/MAH%20OR%20breakcore https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@themixingbowl.org/rssddl.xml?search=tag:Breezeblock/MAH OR breakcore]
 
 
If you have trouble with spaces (I didn't have any trouble with utorrent), replace spaces with %20 or a + (plus sign)
 
 
====More filtering====
 
Filter your feed using any of the search terms explained in the help on the normal torrent search on the TMB website:
 
https://themixingbowl.org/torrent/search/

This syntax of searching also works by typing into the search box
 
[http://themixingbowl.org/torrent/search/?search=tag:live tag:live]
 
 
Tags can be anything, some examples are
 
the [http://themixingbowl.org/torrent/classictags/ classictags]
 
and the [http://themixingbowl.org/torrent/search/bigcloud bigcloud]
 
 
Tags will match case insensitive text, eg:
 
[http://themixingbowl.org/torrent/search/?search=tag:house tag:house]
 
will match House, Progressive house, Deep House and Tech House .. etc
