Google Ping Activity XML

[Cbud26]

I know Google publishes ping activity as an xml...Is there any way to customize this url to look at the ping activity of a certain site?
http://blogsearch.google.com/changes.xml

yes. filter the data. regex or xpath will both work.

Could you show me an example of xpath, I looked into it but couldn't find to much on constructing a url to pull the data.

How would you pull all the ping data from WickedFire from: [SIZE=-1]http://blogsearch.google.com/changes.xml[/SIZE] using xpath

you can't use query parameters (url stuff) like you want to. You need to download that entire xml file and then parse it locally to get your data.
