Download craigslist RSS data using objective c

[matthewwalk]

I'm attempting to add Craigslist RSS data to an iOS application I'm creating.

I've followed the instructions in this wonderful tutorial by Ray Wenderlich: How To Make A Simple RSS Reader iPhone App Tutorial | Ray Wenderlich

However, when I use an URL like portland, OR musicians classifieds - craigslist I get no data returned. When I use a Yahoo Pipe that's setup to connect to craigslist, it works. I'm trying to avoid using the Yahoo Pipe for performance reasons and I don't want my app to rely on something that could go away at anytime.

Any advice is appreciated.

That URL you provided is NOT an RSS feed. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page there, and find the little RSS icon, it will take you to the real RSS feed. That is the url you want to use in your app.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I should have pasted the RSS link I was using, not the actual website URL. Even when I use the RSS link from craigslist, it still doesn't return anything. Any help is appreciated, thanks again.
