Windows Updates RSS Feed to Excel

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I'm attempting to create a schedule of Windows Updates based on the RSS feed available here 

https://support.microsoft.com/app/content/api/content/feeds/sap/en-us/6ae59d69-36fc-8e4d-23dd-631d98bf74a9/rss 

I want to get the Release date, OSversion and KB article to each update published

 

I have created a HTTP GET action to retrieve the links for each of the published articles however I'm struggling to get the information requested as the Primary Feed Lnk redirects to another site.

 

Any help completing this flow will be greately appreciated

    Hi @LAD114 ,

     

    Please refer to the blog below to configure your Flow:

    https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2018/07/03/how-to-stay-current-on-windows-updates/

    I also tested on my side, the content contained in the feed item contains the following content, you could consider inserting this content into the Excel table.

    As for the "Primary Feed Link redirects to another site" that you mentioned, some of the links that cannot be opened normally seem to deleted by Microsoft, so it cannot be accessed normally, but most of the links can still be accessed normally.

    Please try again.

     

    Best Regards,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes I used that very same link to configure my initial flow however I require the information at every link to populate the Release date, KB version , OS version etc

    I've managed to create an HTTP GET function to retrieve the redirected website. Json export here:

    I need only the right way to extract and format the content.
