I am very frustrated in determining how to implement Feedzirra. I have two options working. Which one should I implement?
I have the Railscast #168 Feed Parsing example working. It uses entry.id based on ID, GUID, or URL depending upon which is available. (OBTW... I upgraded this from Rails 2 to Rails 4. It works except for the test scenarios. There is still work to do on it...)
I have the github sample version for Feedzirra operational. It is based on Etag and last modified date.
These two options seem to be diametrically opposed? Or, are they simply two options which should be selected depending upon the feed? I just don't understand. The documentation, which seems to be dated, is argumentative.
Which is current? Are they both current? Why would I select one or the other? Is one simply better or do I have to use one or the other depending on the feed I am processing?
I hate to ask whether Feedzirra is the right solution for bringing down many, many feeds that are updated often in a high performance environment or not. I do believe it is the right answer?
I just need to focus on the final solution, whatsoever that may be at this point.
