newsboat-extensions

Collection of RSS generator scripts originally meant for use with newsboat. Tested under several aggregators.

So-called "execurl" scripts in this repository have 2rss in their name, while the names of "filter" scripts contain -filter. For more information on how to use these scripts inside newsboat see its documentation's "SCRIPTS AND FILTERS" section.

Combining extensions

Because of the way newsboat executes extensions, they can be combined simply as follows.

"exec:~/newsboat-extensions/tiktok2rss.py user-name | ~/newsboat-extensions/re-filter.py -i 'pattern'"

"filter:~/newsboat-extensions/nitter-filter.awk | ~/newsboat-extensions/re-filter.py -i 'pattern':https://nitter.net/user-name/rss"

Usage with sfeed

For example, overwrite the fetch function in the sfeedrc(5) as follows:

# fetch(name, url, feedfile)
fetch() {
	case "$2" in
	exec:*)
		sh -c "${2#exec:}" 2>/dev/null ;;
	filter:*)
		fstr=${2#filter:}
		curl "${fstr#*:}" 2>/dev/null \
			| sh -c "${fstr%%:*}" ;;
	*)
		curl "$2" 2>/dev/null ;;
	esac
}
