Re: itunes:keywords



Hi all,

Yes, that was an error in the previous version of the spec. Current version of the spec is located on apple.com: http://www.apple.com/ itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html

Not sure on character limitations.

I talked about this some more with Pete. The rules are basically:
a) "," is the officially-recognized delimiter
b) if there is no comma, try " " as a delimiter
c) none of this really matters, since the keywords are simply searched in their entirety
d) all other XML-friendly utf8 text is legal


Hope this answers your question,

P.S. We'll try to get that old HTML filed replaced with a redirect. :-)

From http://phobos.apple.com/static/iTunesRSS.html :

    <itunes:keywords>

    This tag allows users to search on text keywords. Use commas to
    separate keywords.

And from the example in the same document:

    <itunes:keywords>salt pepper shaker exciting</itunes:keywords>
    <itunes:keywords>metric socket wrenches tool</itunes:keywords>
    <itunes:keywords>politics red blue state</itunes:keywords>

=> not a comma in sight.

Question: is there any limitation to characters which are valid in keywords?
