rsskey

rsskey is a simple script for mirroring RSS or Atom feeds on Misskey. It splits original posts into paragraphs or sentences to fit an instance's character limit and checks for previous notes before creating.

Installation

rsskey depends on feedparser, httpx, loca, markdownify and trio. If you pip install rsskey, pip will install all the dependencies for you to run python -m rsskey.

Alternatively, you can get the requirements from your distribution, fetch the source tree and execute src/rsskey.py.

Usage

In rsskey's user configuration directory, declare the mirroring jobs in jobs.conf, for example:

[rms@birb.space]
; URL to RSS/Atom feed source
source = https://stallman.org/rss/rss.xml
; URL to destination Misskey instance's API
dest = https://birb.space/api
; Note character limit of the Misskey instance
text = 420
; Content warning character limit of the Misskey instance
cw = 69
; Misskey user ID for searching previous notes
user = 8rt4sahf1j
; Access token with permission to compose notes
token = 7h4753cur3r4nd0m57r1n61764v3y0u

In order to run rsskey chronically, set up a cron job or something IDK.
