# Sfeed: simple RSS and Atom parser |
|
|
|
Last modification on 2022-11-05 |
|
|
|
Sfeed is a RSS and Atom parser (and some format programs). |
|
|
|
It converts RSS or Atom feeds from XML to a TAB-separated file. There are |
|
formatting programs included to convert this TAB-separated format to various |
|
other formats. There are also some programs and scripts included to import and |
|
export OPML and to fetch, filter, merge and order feed items. |
|
|
|
For the most (up-to-date) information see the »README«. |
|
|
|
|
|

## Build and install |
|
|
|
$ make |
|
# make install |
|
|
|
|
|
## Screenshot and examples |
|
|
 |
Screenshot of sfeed piped to sfeed_plain using dmenu in vertical-list mode |
|
|
|
The above screenshot uses the sfeed_plain format program with »dmenu«. This |
|
program outputs the feed items in a compact way per line as plain-text to |
|
stdout. The dmenu program reads these lines from stdin and displays them as a |
|
X11 list menu. When an item is selected in dmenu it prints this item to stdout. |
|
A simple written script can then filter for the URL in this output and do some |
|
action, like opening it in some browser or open a podcast in your music player. |
|
|
|
For example: |
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh |
|
url=$(sfeed_plain "$HOME/.sfeed/feeds/"* | dmenu -l 35 -i | \ |
|
sed -n 's@^.* \([a-zA-Z]*://\)\(.*\)$@\1\2@p') |
|
test -n "${url}" && $BROWSER "${url}" |
|
|
|
However this is just one way to format and interact with feed items. |
|
See also the README for other practical examples. |
|
|
|
Below are some examples of output that are supported by the included format |
|
programs: |
|
|
 |
* plain text (UTF-8) |
|
* atom |
|
* gopher |
|
* HTML (CSS) |
|
* HTML frames |
|
* JSON Feed |
|
* mbox |
|
* twtxt |
|
|
|
There is also a curses UI front-end, see the page »sfeed_curses«. |
|
It is now part of sfeed. |
