Make RSS feed from VK global search by hashtag (Vkontakte search results)

[MurzNN]

Will be good to have ability for create RSS feed from specific search results, as example - results for one or several hastags search, or global search by some text phrase.

Is this possible with current version of script? If no, can you implement generating rss feed from VKontakte search results?

You can use already existing similar functionality — post filtering by regular expression.

Thanks for quick reply, but does this work with global search? As I understand, now id is required field for query, but when I do a global search - I have no id of user or community.

Script is oriented to work with concrete wall that's described by single profile/community ID.

VK API allows to use its own search algorithm for concrete wall: wall.search. But is's similar to implemented filtering. So include/exclude can be used for the recent wall posts.

VK API also allows to use global searching by newsfeed.search. But it doesn't return all matching posts — only some unspecified subset of posts that published by opened (for current user) communities/profiles on its opened (for current user) walls, without posts by non-owner users. This API method doesn't fully compatible with this script functionality.

Yes, newsfeed.search method is exactly that we need, is it hard to implement support of this method in script?

[woxcab]

I think it isn't so difficult therefore it will be added.

So quick! Thanks, I'll test it and report if found any problems.
