README.md

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

python3
python3-pycurl

Sample Installation

git clone https://negativezero.link/code/lost/rsstube.git

sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/rsstube/rsstube" /usr/local/bin/rsstube

Updating

If you installed with git, just cd into the directory and git pull.

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.
