# rsstube
|
|
|
|
Some website provide RSS/Atom feeds. rsstube tries to find the URLs for those feeds.
|
|
|
|
This is a work-in-progress. It's missing some features I want like proxy support and a way to deal with Cloudflare sites.
|
|
|
|
That said, if you download this code and run it, it should work for the features and sites that have been implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
rsstube is written in Python, an interpreted language. There's no need to compile it.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Python 3
|
|
- PycURL
|
|
|
|
**Arch Linux:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -S python python-pycurl`
|
|
|
|
**Debian:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt install python3 python3-pycurl`
|
|
|
|
**Fedora:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo dnf install python3 python3-pycurl`
|
|
|
|
**Pip:**
|
|
|
|
(Assuming `python` and `pip` are already installed...)
|
|
|
|
`pip install --user pycurl`
|
|
|
|
### Optional Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Git (for updating via git)
|
|
- GitPython (for updating via git)
|
|
- PyGObject (for the GUI)
|
|
|
|
**Arch Linux:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -S git python-gitpython python-gobject`
|
|
|
|
**Debian:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt install git python3-git python3-gi`
|
|
|
|
**Fedora:**
|
|
|
|
`sudo dnf install git python3-GitPython python3-gobject`
|
|
|
|
**Pip:**
|
|
|
|
(Assuming `git` is already installed...)
|
|
|
|
`pip install --user GitPython PyGObject`
|
|
|
|
### Sample Installation
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://negativezero.link/code/0x80/rsstube.git`
|
|
|
|
`sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/rsstube/rsstube" /usr/local/bin/rsstube`
|
|
|
|
### Updating
|
|
|
|
If you installed rsstube with git, and you have GitPython installed, use `rsstube -U` or `rsstube --update`.
|
|
|
|
If you installed rsstube another way (manual download, package manager), update rsstube that same way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
`rsstube <link>`
|
|
|
|
There are some options, but most of them don't work yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
rsstube is not a tool for generating new feeds where they don't already exist. It is a tool for locating official feed URLs provided by the site.
|
|
|
|
I will not register an API key with any service just to get a feed. rsstube only gets feeds which are publicly available.
|
|
|
|
Site-specific extractors should only be added to rsstube when the site in question requires special logic. If the logic is generally applicable to many sites, it should go in the generic extractor.
