Inaccurate feed_id's returned in some cases
Here's an example from my shell: curl "http://api.postrank.com/v2/feed/info?appkey=postrank.com/example&id=http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss". This returns a feed_id of 18690, but look up to the xml field in the output and you see this is actually the /cnn_us.rss feed, not the one requested. The problem is that when you then try a feed-based postrank query and have the wrong feed_id, the rank always comes back as 1. How does one get accurate feed_id's? Does something need to be fixed on your end? Thanks!!
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Ed,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. That was a problem with that specific feed, which was incorrect in our system. It should be giving you the right feed_id now (368), as well as the xml (http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories...). However, I would recommend that you use feed_hashes instead, which are returned in the "id" field. These are what we use mainly with the new system instead of feed_ids.
Let me know if you run into any more issues.
