WIP: Add RSS Reporter with feedgen #709
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Wonder if it could be better to configure the output file in the settings instead of writing to stdout? You could e.g. allow format strings to write per-feed files:
output_filename: 'everything.rss'
vs
output_filename: 'feed_{name}.rss'
(where {name} would be taken from the "name" field in the job list)
If you use output_filename.format(**job) (and job is the YAML dict) then you could even have custom keys and insert those into the filenames.
One important thing there would of course be to "collect" all jobs that map to the same filename and generate the feed once.

Hi! Yes, I've read it back then – but in the meantime I was more concerned with the fact that (at least) Feedly does not recognize new items: Even if the content differed, it did not show a new item. Still have to work on this. About the idea with configuring the output file: I'm not sure if I understand the benefit. Can I achieve something more with this than just by taking |
You can have multiple feeds (e.g. "ebay.rss", "news.rss", ...) |
But I could achieve that already with |
Hello, because needing it myself, I've picked up the work on the RSS reporter (#553, #76, #53). I tried a very basic approach: Simply take the STDOUT output and wrap it into an RSS feed with 1 item.
Here's an example output.
If
urlwatchnow runs e.g. once a day, then in my feedreader I get this new item once per day. When using on online feed reader like Feedly, the old entries get saved by Feedly anyway.Creating different feeds for different jobs should also be possible via
I think this is very much "good enough", much better than no RSS feed at all. But of course I'm happy to polish this up if there are some low-hanging fruits. :)
