Similar bots? SimplePie is a parser, built specifically for handling all type of feeds. You will need some XML parser to be able to parse XML content, and something that manages caching and fetching. Whether it be SimpleXML extension with own implementation, or SimpePie or other library.
There is small weaponry of plugins for handling XML content and feeds, including:
- smd_xml is a powerful plugin for parsing any XML content, the way you want. Uses XML Parser extension. In other words doesn’t need any extra configuration in most cases.
- tmc_rss. Uses MagpieRSS. Neither, plugin nor library, is longer maintained.
- bit_rss, but aks_rss”:http://textpattern.org/plugins/1080/aks_rss is based on it, is newer and still shares same concept.
- arc_twitter also parses XML content — Twitter’s XML feeds. Uses SimpleXML extension. The weapon of choice if you are working with Twitter.

Just FYI: aks_rss uses simplepie 1.1.3, which throws errors, when using php 5.3++. I tried using it with simple pie 1.3dev, didn’t work.
