The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I have a feed created with Google Alerts. Sometimes (not consistently) the items are duplicated when shown in the aggregator block. I have checked the XML source of the feed and that does not have multiple instances. All the instances have the same timestamp.

edvanleeuwenAfter a while the number of items increases. I think that when the number is larger than -say- 1000, the duplicate problem begins.
Any ideas?

edvanleeuwenI have noticed that the GUID field is empty for the Google feed. Is this normal?

edvanleeuwenThis is to celebrate the first annual without even getting a reply. I think I will change the status in 'won't fix'.

edvanleeuwenOk, I think I have come up with a solution. As I mentioned, the GUID is not available in a Google Alert feed. But there is an tag which is unique.
Thus I have changed the following line in aggregator.module:
$guid = isset($item['GUID']) ? $item['GUID'] : '';into
$guid = isset($item['GUID']) ? $item['GUID'] : (isset($item['ID']) ? $item['ID'] : '');I will now try this for a couple of weeks to check if it suffices.
