Bridge request for "Feed Article Expander"

[dhuschde]

Bridge request

We already are able to get the Posts and there summery out of nearly every Website due to XPath. But we can't get the whole Article in RSS. But FreshRSS has a Feature called "CSS selector" which finds the Post Content throuh CSS classes. That would also be a very nice Bridge for RSS Bridge, since not all Readers have that feature.

General information

• Host URI for the bridge (i.e. https://github.com): The Pull Request or RSS Bridge

• Which information would you like to see? The ones given from the Feed (Title, time, URL and more) and the whole Article, not only the description.

• How should the information be displayed/formatted? Normaly

• Which of the following parameters do you expect?

  • [X] Title
  • [X] URI (link to the original article)
  • [X] Author
  • [X] Timestamp
  • [X] Description (The original Content of the feed)
  • [X] Content (the content of the article)
  • [X] Enclosures (pictures, videos, etc...)
  • [X] Categories (categories, tags, etc...)

Options

• [X] Limit number of returned items
  • Default limit: -1 (All)
• [ ] Load full articles
  • Cache articles (articles are stored in a local cache on first request): yes
  • Cache timeout (max = 24 hours): 24 hours
• [ ] Balance requests (RSS-Bridge uses cached versions to reduce bandwith usage)
  • Timeout (default = 5 minutes, max = 24 hours): 5 minutes

RSS feeds for arbitrary websites, using CSS selectors. A similar service was found. I believe that this can be improved more easily. https://feed-me-up-scotty.vincenttunru.com/

I think this is something different. I meant a Bridge whitch opens every entry of the Feed and extracts the whole article to not only give out the summary but the whole article in the feed.

Could be done using XPath or CSS I think...

I changed the title to make it more clear

This is a Site which does the Job: http://ftr.fivefilters.org/ But it's very limited on the Free Plan, so I would still really like an alternative from RSS-Bridge

Hi,

Doesn't the "Feed Expander Bridge" prepare exactly that? You could go in and add a retrieval code for the content but it would be site specific.

Explosm Bridge does basically that. The feed itself only has a preview of the image. The bridge goes into every item and pulls the actual image from the post. You could do the same for the post content that you want.

Thank you very much, with that help I was able to create the Bridge and made a Pull Request.
