newslinkrss

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.
