Feed2twister is a simple script to post items from RSS/ATOM feeds to [Twister](http://twister.net.co).
### Prerequisites
* [Twister](http://twister.net.co/) (of course)
* [python-bitcoinrpc](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bitcoinrpc/)
* [feedparser](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/feedparser/)
Add support for using is.gd shortener USE_SHORTENER steers toggle of shortening urls. As twister has a hard limit at the moment of 140 characters, the more room we create for content the better.

* [gdshortener](https://github.com/torre76/gd_shortener/) (optional)

### Installing
Added patched bitcoin-rpc submodule You should do "git submodule update --init"!!!
2014-03-28 21:11:28 +07:00
* run `git submodule update --init`
(to install a [patched version](https://github.com/thedod/python-bitcoinrpc/tree/unicode-fix-for-twister)
of bitcoin-rpc (a twister-related unicode fix).
If you don't have git(?) you can [download the zip](https://github.com/thedod/python-bitcoinrpc/archive/unicode-fix-for-twister.zip),
and copy the bitcoinrpc directory into this directory (overwrite whatever you have ther now. probably an empty folder).
Big refactoring in order to use argparse and ConfigParser module instead of using python import. Add possibilities to use custom config files

* Copy `feed2twister.conf.example` to `feed2twister.conf` and edit it to taste.

Normally, you would run this as a cron task: `cd /path/to/this ; python feed2twister.py` [`-n N`] [`-c CONFIGFILE`]

if [optional] `N` is supplied, it's used as the maximum items to post (per feed). Default is `0`.

If there are more than `N` new items in a feed, "over quota" items get marked as if they were posted
(this can be handy when you add a new feed with a long history).
Specifically, `python feed2twister.py 0` would make all feeds "catch up" without posting anything.

if [optional] `CONFIGFILE` is supplied, it is used as a custom config file, instead of the first file found in the following list: ./feed2twister.conf, ~/.config/feed2twister.conf, ~/.feed2twister.conf
