RSS Feed Notifier¶
How It Works¶
Maid-chan accepts RSS Feed subscription and sends out notification for each RSS update. By default, user can use 2 default preset:
- Manga via mangaupdates.com
- Nyaa (nyaa.se)
In addition, user can also use its own custom RSS Feed source.
When the user subscribes using custom RSS, Maid-chan validates whether given URL has a valid RSS format via feedparser library.
Maid-chan uses regex comparison from user’s input to the title of feed entries. Maid-chan stores list of all matched titles from the RSS Feed.
If there is a new title which is not stored in the database, Maid-chan will send out a notification to the user that a new update is available.
Initially, timestamp is used instead of list of titles. However, some sources (mangaupdates) don’t provide timestamp information.
How to Run¶
- You can start running scheduler by executing:
$ maidchan_scheduler
- You can add & remove RSS to Maid-chan’s RSS Feed notifier via subscribe rss and unsubscribe rss command in the Messenger.
