I have a situation where I'm stuck (for the moment) using FeedApi. I need to map additional fields in a feed I have which is a feed from a source that aggregates feeds. However, I need for the Title of the feed not to be the aggregator (e.g. Google News) but the actual publication source (e.g. New York Times). Looking at the XML for the feed, the original source name is in there inside the entry code.I found a solution for Feeds at http://redfinsolutions.com/blog/mapping-additional-fields-exg-feed-origi... but is there to backwardly migrate this solution to feedapi? I'm a newbie to Drupal, FeedAPI but have come a long way in building a very interesting site through self-teaching. But this one has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

The FeedAPI module is over 5 years old and no longer being developed. Is there a specific reason why you are using that module instead of Feeds, its successor?

With the XML Xpath parser from the Feeds extensible parsers module you can get any value from a XML file using the right xpath.

Thank you MegaChriz! Yes, I'm experimenting with an old Drupal module that does what I want it to do (intelligently cluster articles) that was built for FeedAPI and having great success. Unfortunately I'm not quite ready to take on the development work to upgrade that module to Feeds until I have a proof of concept that I can do something worthwhile. Does that make sense?
