rssfixer 0.0.4

Generate RSS feed for Wordpress blog without it.

rssfixer

A small tool to generate an RSS feed from some Wordpress blogs that for some reason don't generate their own feeds.

Installation

pip install rssfixer

Example

Format for storing the links varies but I'll try and add more formats as I find them.

List

An example to generate a feed for nccgroup that have the links in a list:

$ rssfixer --title nccgroup https://research.nccgroup.com/
RSS feed created: rss_feed.xml

You can specify a filename and silence output:

$ rssfixer --title nccgroup --output nccgroup.xml --quiet https://research.nccgroup.com/

The resulting file is available here as an example.

Most times you would run the script from crontab to have an updated feed. Here is an example with a venv in /home/user/src/rssfixer.

32 * * * *      /home/user/src/rssfixer/bin/rssfixer --title nccgroup --output /var/www/html/feeds/nccgroup.xml --quiet https://research.nccgroup.com
