Feed me up, Scotty!

RSS feeds for arbitrary websites, using CSS selectors. Feed me up, Scotty! is:

  • straightforward to set up.
  • runs on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or wherever floats your boat.
  • uses an actual browser to fetch data.

Here's an example config:

[funfacts]
title = "Wikipedia — did you know?"
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"
entrySelector = "#mp-dyk > ul li"
titleSelector = "b"
linkSelector = "b a"

[wikivoyage]
title = "Wikivoyage recommendations"
url = "https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page"
entrySelector = ".jcarousel-wrapper .jcarousel-item"
titleSelector = "h2"
linkSelector = "h2 a"

…which turns into funfacts.xml and wikivoyage.xml.
