RSS Feed Generator

Description

This project is an extension of the wonderful RSS Feed Generator by @drego85.

It is a web API in Python + Flask. It provides RSS feeds for popular websites which do not provide them. The websites are scraped manually, so eventual changes to their layouts may break the feed. If yo find a broken feed, please open an issue on the GitHub page.

The API is available as a Docker image over ghcr.io/mfranzil/rssfeedgenerator.

For additional information, visit the aforelinked GitHub page.

Installation

Using any virtual enviroment is recommended. This project was developed using miniforge/conda 23.1.0 and python 3.11.3 on macOS Ventura 13.3.1 (a).

To get started, first install the dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run the server:

python server.py

A direnv installation is recommended for automatically adding the PYTHONPATH variable to the shell and allow easy local debugging.
