A configurable service written in Go to monitors RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds. Create a simple configuration file to define your feeds and associated filters, and begin receiving notifications when matches are found. Connect your notification to many services through plugins.

Basic Usage

Begin by defining a configuration file, multiple examples can be found in the sample_recipes directory.

Here is a sample config, which will monitor the NASA "breaking news" RSS feed and alert us to potential articles of interest involving aliens, based on the feed item title and excluding articles posted on April first.

monitor:
  - feed:
      name: 'Aliens are real'
      url: https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss
      interval: 60
      filters:
        - include:
            element: title
            matches: '/alien[s]?.*[life|real]/i'
        - exclude:
            element: published
            matches: '/Apr, 1/'
      notifiers:
        - gotify:
            server: https://gotify.example.com
            token: 'your_token'

All filters must return true for the item to be considered a match. The example above states the title must contain the word "alien" and "life" or "real" to be considered a match and the published date must not contain "April 1".
