feed2twister/README.md

Feed2twister is a simple script to post items from RSS/ATOM feeds to Twister.

Prerequisites

• Twister (of course)
• python-bitcoinrpc
• feedparser

Installing

Copy config-example.py to config.py and edit it to taste.

Running

Normally, you would run this as a cron task: python feed2twister.py [N]

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

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.
