README.md

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

Prerequisites

Installing

  • run git submodule update --init (to install a patched version of bitcoin-rpc (a twister-related unicode fix). If you don't have git(?) you can download the zip, and copy the bitcoinrpc directory into this directory (overwrite whatever you have ther now. probably an empty folder).

  • Copy feed2twister.conf.example to feed2twister.conf and edit it to taste.

Running

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
