About this website
(This page is only in English available.)
What is RSS?
RSS is a format for syndicating information. It's based on XML and it's mainly used to syndicate news. - In view of this website it means that you are able to include some of irc.netsplit.de's measuring results (e.g. the list of top networks) directly to your website.
If you want to know more about it, you should visit www.xml.com. There you will find more detailed information about RSS.
Which rss feeds are provided here?

Via http://irc.netsplit.de/rss/top_networks.php you will get information about the top 25 IRC networks.

How often shall be fetched?
Please don't fetch the RSS feeds too often! The measurements just run once an hour and it doesn't make sense to fetch the same information multiple times. The results should at the latest be available a quarter to the next hour (*:45).
RSS version 2.0
![[Valid RSS]](/links/valid-rss.png)
|
RSS version 2.0 is used for all feeds and the feedvalidator was used several times before the feeds were included. So everything should works fine. However...
Please be aware that you use these RSS feeds at your own risk!
