RSS.app Node.js Library

The site-to-rss library provides convenient access to the RSS.app API from applications written in JavaScript.

Documentation

See the API docs for Node.js.

Live Demo

A minimal demo project can be found in examples directory.

Online demo is also available!

Requirements

Node 8 or higher.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install site-to-rss --save
# or
yarn add site-to-rss

Usage

The package needs to be configured with your account's api and secret key, which is available in the RSS.app Dashboard. Require it with the key's value:

const RssApp = require('site-to-rss');

const rssApp = new RssApp({ apiKey:  'c_...', apiSecret:  's_...' });

rssApp.feed
  .create({ url:  'https://bbc.com' })
  .then((feed) => {
     console.log('Success', feed);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log('Error', err);
  });

Or using ES modules and async/await:

import RssApp from 'site-to-rss';
const rssApp = new RssApp({ apiKey: 'c_...', apiSecret: 's_...' });

(async () => {
  const feed = await rssApp.feed.create({ url: 'https://bbc.com' });

  console.log(feed.id);
})();

Usage with TypeScript

RSS.app maintains types.

import RssApp, { RssAppFeed } from 'site-to-rss';
const rssApp = new RssApp({ apiKey: 'c_...', apiSecret: 's_...' });

const createFeed = async () => {
  const feed: RssAppFeed = await rssApp.feed.create({ url: 'https://bbc.com' });

  console.log(feed.id);
};
createFeed();

Using Promises

Every method returns a chainable promise which can be used instead of a regular callback:

// Create a new feed and then list all feeds in account:
rssApp.feed
  .create({
    url: 'https://bbc.com',
  })
  .then((feed) => {
    return rssApp.feed
      .list({
        limit: 10,
        offset: 0,
      })
      .then((res) => {
        console.log(res.data);
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        // Deal with an error
      });
  });
