node-red-contrib-feedparser-ext v0.0.2

node-red-contrib-feedparser-ext

This repository is a copy/forked from official Node-Red Feedparser

Source: Original Node-Red FeedParser

Content

A Node-RED node to read RSS and Atom feeds.

Changes

• Add Input parameter: allows to trigger externaly, and allows dynamic configuration
• Remove internal timer and matching option: This lets input node to trigger fetch, which enables use case like scheduling instead of fixed poll interval.
• Fix the never cleaned-up seen variable: the json object used internally to flag seen article was growing indefinitly with accumulating days of article in memory
• Allows to customize url of RSS feed by parameter payload This permits to source a list of URLs from external content, therefore allowing for example a Personal Assistant module to add/remove URLs dynamicaly.

Install

Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

    npm install node-red-contrib-feedparser-ext

Usage

Triggers a request to fetch an RSS/atom feed for new entries.

You can trigger using an Input parameter at regular or dynamic interval.

Parameter payload can be specified as URL of RSS Feed, or if not specified, configuration option is used.
