NZ Govt feeds is an unofficial, experimental aggregation of New Zealand Government news items.
The list of source feeds is drawn from Mike Riverdale’s collection of Government feeds.
The site software was originally developed to drive the wellynews local news feed.
The system provides a number of outputs which might be of interest to developers:
- Content can be tagged.
Users may add tags to individual resources. These tagging votes are combined with automatic tagging to arrange news items into different output feeds.
- Every tag has an RSS feed.
For example, the Auckland tag page has it’s own RSS feed.
- Tags and publishers can be combined.
ie. Health and Wellington related items, or everything the Electricity Commission has said about Auckland.
- All feeds are also available in JSON format
See the API instructions for details.
The site still contains some references to it’s original Wellington related usage; these will be removed if this turns out to be of use to people.
Any enquires should be directed to enquires (at) wellington.gen.nz.
