Content Body Processing

When using the content=body parameter, the system processes different body types as follows:

Supported Body Types

  1. editor_block:

    • The HTML content of the editor block is included directly in the <content:encoded> section

  2. embed:

    • The embed HTML is included in the <content:encoded> section
    • Preserves the original embed structure and functionality

  3. image:

    • Creates an <img> tag using the 'gallery' URL from the image data
    • Format: <img src="[GALLERY_URL]" alt="[ALT_TEXT]"/>
    • Example: <img src="https://image.api.integration.sportal365.com/process/smp-image-api-shared-region-integration/sportal.bg/02092024/86b0851a-fb23-4d7f-8b4b-fff125b6048a.png?operations=fit(1920:)" alt="Article Image"/>

Content Structure

All content is wrapped in CDATA sections within the <content:encoded> tags to ensure proper XML parsing and preserve HTML formatting.

Note: The feed is updated every 5 minutes.
