feeder

feeder is a small Python framework that helps you generate JSON Feeds.

Usage

For now, install from Github with:

python3 -m pip install json-feeder

Create a directory for your new feed, the start the new feed with:

feeder startfeed

settings.py, feed.py and generate.py files will be created for you.

The following settings can be configured:

• FEED_FUNCTION the path to a Python function that will return a list of FeedItem objects.
• FEED_FILENAME the filename on disk for the feed. If you are using Github Pages then this should be set to out/feed.json or similar.
• FEED_URL the remote url of the feed. This is used to ensure that duplicates are not added to the file.
• FEED_TITLE is the title of your feed.
• FEED_HOMEPAGE_URL is the homepage of your feed, this is optional.
• FEED_ICON is a url to an icon that feed readers might use for your feed. Very optional.
• FEED_VERSION defaults to "1.1" and represents the JSON Feed version.
• FEED_MAX_ITEMS limits the number of items to output in the feed. Default is 100.

Once you've updated your settings.py and created your FEED_FUNCTION you can generate your feed by running:

python3 generate.py
