regarding the first issue, that would take some programming…not a lot, but some (and right now, I don’t have the time to handle this and nobody else has ever asked for this feature, so frankly it’s a low priority for adding to the plugin)…there may be some way to convert json to rss using some service – you might try looking for this on google.
You might look into yahoo pipes for this, too.

Thanks Allen. I don’t suppose you’d consider adding it in if I paid? If so let me know how much and how long it would take.
Have tried google for JSON to RSS… there are plenty of options for the other way round (RSS to JSON) but I haven’t found 1 for JSON to RSS.

well, I have 3 other jobs right now…this is definitely not my full time occupation. If I did add it, it would take me several weeks and unfortunately nobody else would use it…I’m sorry I can help you with this.
Ok thanks I’ll see if I can get someone in who can program it at my end. Cheers!

ok..maybe it’s more difficult to do (doubtful, but maybe)
I’ll use it. I’ve been building APIs from news sites using http://kimonolabs.com which outputs in JSON, CSV and RSS. RSS while convenient, is a bit limitting in how one can scrape and structure data. JSON is the golden standard, so, having all my data sources as JSON first would be great. And I tried looking for a converter to RSS but couldn’t found something I can use off the shelf. Nothing in WP plugin repository as well.
So, while this looks promising given that WP core will integrate the JSON API plugin soon, it is definitely a “nice to have”. I’m just imagining that WP RSS Multi Importer will do similar kind of magic with JSON. That looks like fertile playground in the coming API economy. 🙂
Did you folks still need a json to rss?
I managed to make do with RSS, but would still love the capability to convert json to rss!
Guys we’re looking into implementing this feature for WP RSS Aggregator, so if anyone is interested in this email me on info @ wprssaggregator.com
That would be awesome Jean!
