Generate RSS feeds for sites that do not have them
newslinkrss generates RSS feeds for websites that do not provide their own.
It works by loading URLs with lists of articles, looking for links matching
regular expressions, and optionally visiting them to get more information
and even processing these target pages with XPath and CSS Selectors if
necessary. It is basically a purpose specific crawler or scraper.
The results are printed as a RSS feed to stdout or optionally to a file. The
simplest way to use it is just configure your local feed reader, like
Liferea or Newsboat, to use a "command" source and pass the correct command
line arguments to generate a suitable feed -- this allows you to centralize
the configuration in the reader itself and let it handle update times, etc.
Run newslinkrss --help for the complete list of command line options.
