# rsskey

rsskey is a simple script for mirroring [RSS] or [Atom] feeds on [Misskey].
It splits original posts into paragraphs or sentences to fit an instance's
character limit and checks for previous notes before creating.

## Installation

rsskey depends on [feedparser], [httpx], [loca], [markdownify] and [trio].
If you `pip install rsskey`, pip will install all the dependencies for you
to run `python -m rsskey`.

Alternatively, you can get the requirements from your distribution,
fetch the source tree and execute `src/rsskey.py`.

## Usage

In rsskey's [user configuration directory][loca],
declare the mirroring jobs in `jobs.conf`, for example:

```ini
[rms@birb.space]
; URL to RSS/Atom feed source
source = https://stallman.org/rss/rss.xml
; URL to destination Misskey instance's API
dest = https://birb.space/api
; Character limit of the Misskey instance
limit = 420
; Misskey user ID for searching previous notes
user = 8rt4sahf1j
; Access token with permission to compose notes
token = 7h4753cur3r4nd0m57r1n61764v3y0u
```

In order to run rsskey chronically, set up a cron job or something IDK.
