# custom_rss_generators
|
|
A collection of scripts that generate custom RSS feeds
|
|
|
|
The scripts in this repository do not by default generate output files,
|
|
instead only outputting to `stdout`.
|
|
This is quite elegant if your RSS feed reader supports reading in from
|
|
`stdout` as it avoid the generation of intermediary files.
|
|
For example, in my [`newsraft`](https://codeberg.org/newsraft/newsraft) `feeds`
|
|
configuration file, I have the following lines:
|
|
```
|
|
@ Events
|
|
$(python3 ~/code/python/custom_rss_generators/roisin_dubh_listings.py 2>/dev/null) " Róisín Dubh Event Listings"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, if your RSS feed reader does not support reading in from `stdout` or running
|
|
executables to generate feeds, you will need to find another way to utilise these scripts, e.g.
|
|
generating `rss.xml` files on a cron schedule and reading from those in your feed reader by using
|
|
the a link beginning with `file://` or if possible, doing some kind of command injection attack
|
|
via your configuration file to force your feed reader to execute the script (although if successful
|
|
& not a deliberate design feature this likely indicates a security issue with your feed reader).
