getting the querysting in django's feed class

Question

I want to be able to have an rss feed with an querysting. For example example.com/rss/bbox?=39.715056,-75.811158,39.5098,-75.491781

1. I couldn't find any example of rss with querystrings, is this proper?
2. How do I get the arguments using django's feed class?

Answer 1

Found it! the get_object method is passed request which you then can extract the GET arguments.

def get_object(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    bounds = request.GET.get("bbox")
    bbox = _str_to_bbox(bounds)
    ....
    return Obj

The returned object can then be used in items and most the rest of the feed class's methods
