redturtle.rssservice 1.0.3

RSS proxy

There is a service “@get_rss_feed” that is used as proxy to call an RSS feed from backend and not from frontend to avoid CORS problems.

The service will reply with an “application/rss+xml” response with the desired feed.

Each feed url has a 10 minutes cache for his result to avoid too much requests.

You can call the endpoint passing a feed parameter like this example:

> curl -i http://localhost:8080/Plone/@get_rss_feed?feed=https://www.plone.org/RSS -H 'Accept: application/rss+xml'

RSS block

There is a service “@rss_mixer_data” that accept a list of sources and limit, and return a list of sorted feeds by date.

This service only accept POST calls and accept following parameters:

• limit: the number of items to show (default 20)

• feeds: a list of objects like this: {“url”: “url-of-the-feed”, “source”: “A custom label”}

For example:

> curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8080/Plone/@rss_mixer_data -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"limit":5, "feeds": [{"url": "url-of-the-feed", "source": "A custom label"}]}'

Will reply with something like this:

[
    {
        "source": "Foo site",
        "contentSnippet": "some description 2",
        "title": "Foo News 2",
        "date": "Thu, 1 Apr 2020 10:44:01 +0200",
        "url": "http://test.com/foo-news-2"
    },
    {
        "source": "",
        "contentSnippet": "some description 2",
        "title": "Bar News 2",
        "date": "Thu, 1 Apr 2020 10:44:01 +0200",
        "url": "http://test.com/bar-news-2"
    },
    {
        "source": "Foo site",
        "contentSnippet": "some description",
        "title": "Foo News 1",
        "date": "Thu, 2 Apr 2020 10:44:01 +0200",
        "url": "http://test.com/foo-news-1"
    },
    {
        "source": "",

        "date": "Thu, 2 Apr 2020 10:44:01 +0200",
