Wonder why it is so tricky to just get an URL to display RSS feed / Atom feed from a fans page. Anyway, here is a very simple 2 steps trick to get the URL for your fans page news feed update to RSS Feed or Atom Feed so that you can export to your blog or app.
Step 1 – Get Fans Page Id
Open any picture / image in the fans page. Then extract the fans page id from the URL. the example of image shown below, the fans page id is 378156838895039
Step 2 – Complete The URL
The Atom Feed and RSS Feed URL format are as follow:
- Atom 1.0 – http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=(FacebookFansPageIdHere)
- RSS 2.0 – http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= (FacebookFansPageIdHere)
If I use the facebook Id I get on the step one, the Atom Feed and RSS feed URL will be as follow:
- Atom 1.0 – http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=378156838895039
- RSS 2.0 – http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= 378156838895039
Short and simple, but I just wonder why Facebook don’t have this button to save all the trouble.
