Is it possible to generate an RSS Feed for third party webpage updates? (1 Viewer)

[prabha_friend]

Hi All,

I recently joined an electronics service centre. We have an online tool where we have to regularly update the incoming service request details. Upon updating the service request details, after an Hour or two the same service request will be listed in a webpage. Our challenge is to know when/whether the service request has been listed or not in that webpage. Would be better if it is possible to generate an RSS feed whenever an update happens...

P.S:
We don't have any write access to webpage. But still we need an utility here. Possible? Please Help.

With Hope,
Prabhakaran

An automatically polling and parsing an RSS feed would definitely better than to manually or automatically check a normal HTML web page.
Unfortunately, unless you have control over the web page or its data, it's not really feasible to replace the web page with an RSS feed. This is something only the owner of the web page/site can do.
