Working on a OP site, that needs to access alot of RSS feeds.
Yet, I really need to filter the feeds by keyword/s.
Only expect to access a large number of feeds to extract specific information.
The RSS feeds have the data, I need.
Yet, there isn't much data specific to what I need.
Is this possible with OP or do have to do it by building special views.

I found somthing..
This is important feature, because I could have 10,000 feed items and possible only need 10-20 of the items.
This would mean enormous overhead in database. Views could filter, but why not filter before receipt of the feeds.
Anyway, I found this and I'm going to try it on a test site.

Would someone please try to use the Semantic Proxy with FeedAPI? I can't get it to work at all.

What's the specific issue you are having with the Semantic Proxy and FeedApi?

I tried using the Semantic Proxy after Drupal core and all modules were updated. Feeds can be imported. The Semantic Proxy maps save document text to a CCK field and it retrieves the feed's entire text. It, however, does not tag the feeds.

Yes, I updated all the modules. It seemed like a good thing to do at the time. What modules should I not be updating? Which versions of modules are required for the Semantic Proxy?

I systematically updated all
In a brand new OpenPublish installation, I systematically updated all the modules that are in the 'recommended' one at a time and didn't have any problems at all with the exception of nodewords-6.x-1.12-beta4 which should not have been recommended judging by it's issue queue. Independent of all the errors that version of nodewords caused the Semantic Proxy works as advertised. I must have updated one of the dev versions of a different module. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

I've gone back to working on this.
I need to filter the feeds before applying the feeds to database.
The site I'm working on has a few (very few) distinct keywords to filter feeds.
No sense filtering through views, why store all the data when you don't need it.
The feeds_itemfilter above mentioned might work, but so far I've not been able to access it properly to get it to work.
FeedAPI_ItemFilter
Well I've been using the FeedAPI_ItemFilter for a couple days on one site. It seems to be working fine.
The big problem when setting it up is my keyword selection doesn't call in feeds like a standard RSS feeds.
The filtering may not bring a feed to my site, except rarely. That is what I wanted, because I don't want to pack MYSql with a bunch of data I don't need.
I'll post again, if I have issues. As it is, I woiuld say it is a go.
Now I don't have to use Views to filter a myriad of feeds.
Can't understand why this hasn't been more a important concern for others.
How is this working for you?
How is this working for you? I'm looking to do the same -- fewer feeds, but filtering in and storing (and allowing for display) only the items I need, rather than keeping everything.
I'm extremely new to Drupal, so I don't know if I'll be able to implement it, but I may give it a shot. I'm sort of surprised this isn't a more common need.
