      I have a NY Times subscription, and I was wondering if there was a way for the default newsfeed module to display the entire article text using my subscription.

      Thanks so much for your help.

      Mike

        What I mean by this is that when I send the notification ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS, it shows the article text but only about a page of it before it asks for a subscription/login. I’m wondering if there is a way to provide my login/pw to the default newsfeed module and have it show the ENTIRE text of the article.

                  @raspberrypi9 – Would the content provider happen to have a separate RSS feed for subscribers?

                    From the sample config the normal feed url is https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml (they maybe have more).

                    My first thought was to use https://username:password@rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml but the problem here is another one. The feed is free so you need no authentication for the feed but some articles of the feed that should be displayed with ARTICLE_MORE_DETAILS are protected. Because the article urls are extracted from the feed I have no idea how to implement this at the moment.

                      @karsten13 – Yes, that’s what I figured.

                      The problem from the provider’s perspective would be how to both give access to legitimate subscribers while limiting access to others. The only solution that springs to mind would be to authenticate the user when they query the server, but for something like this where all the users’ computers might each be coming for content several times each day - it begins to be a lot of computing overhead.
