feedDiasp*

Feed Diaspora with RSS-Feeds or Facebook.

Requirements

feedDiasp requires Python 3 and the pandoc library (optional) for converting HTML into Markdown:

• On Debian based distributions : apt-get install pandoc
• On ArchLinux : pacman -S pandoc
• On MacOS: brew install pandoc

Installation

$ pip install feeddiasp

Usage example

from feeddiasp import FeedDiasp, FBParser, RSSParser

#Sync posts from a facebook site
fb = FBParser(user='spiegelonline', auth_token='...')
bot = FeedDiasp(parser=fb, pod='https://diasp.eu', username='zwirbel', password='Blume123', db='posts.txt')
bot.publish()

#Sync posts from a RSS feed
rss = RSSParser(url='http://www.spiegel.de/schlagzeilen/index.rss')
bot = FeedDiasp(parser=rss, pod='https://diasp.eu', username='zwirbel', password='Blume123', db='posts.txt')
bot.publish()

To avoid duplicates, submitted posts will be stored in posts.txt (defined in db).
