This is a feature request. Can you describe the functionality for FeedAPI item filter better?

As far as I understand it, the idea is to filter the imported feed by using one or more keywords. The use case is to populate the database only with the items that match the keywords and discard the others. I guess this could be done after the parsing process.

I think the FeedAPI Item Filter for Feeds is essential.

Without this functionality, i won't use feeds, but i'd liked to.
The filter could be a tag filter, or description filter, or title filter. Ie, the parser should use filters.

@fabdel: did you try to use the Rules module for your problem? You can create a rule to unpublish or delete an item of a feed when certain conditions are met. But the drawback is, the node will be created.

Hanno, that would be far from ideal.

I agree with fabdel that (for me) feeds is not usable until an item filter is created. Using a workaround like deleting a node after it is created is really not ideal or efficient.

I still use FeedAPI on sites, to filter the feeds prior to loading into mysql.

My feeds are very specialized and only a few feeds may be viable for my site from a source site couple times a month or less.

I would prefer to use Feeds, of course.

If we could get #663860: hook_feeds_after_parse() through, this would be trivial to implement.

#663860: hook_feeds_after_parse() is in. Item filter is subject to custom modules or third party modules. won't be part of Feeds.

Possible module to handle item filtering: http://drupal.org/project/feeds_tamper
See #921688: Is this the successor of FeedAPI itemfilter?
