mastorss dumps RSS feeds into a mastodon account. It is hacked together and generally only extended/fixed when it fails. Do NOT assume it follows any standards. Use at your own risk.

Get sourcecode

Development version

git clone https://github.com/tastytea/mastorss.git

Compile

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make

cmake options:

• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for a debug build

Install with make install.

Usage

Put watchwords.json into ~/.config/mastorss/. Launch with profile name. The first occurence of every watchword in an RSS item will be turned into a hashtag. For profile-specific watchwords see the example in watchwords.json. In the first run only the newest entry is tooted.

The profile can't be named "global".

Example config file

{
    "example": {
        "instance": "botsin.space",
        "feedurl": "https:\/\/example.com\/feed.rss",
        "access_token": "123abc",
        "max_size": "400",
        "last_entry": "Example\n\nThis is an example.\n\nhttps:\/\/example.com\/12345.html\n\n#bot"
    }
}

Error codes

Same as mastodon-cpp

If you use a debug build, you get more verbose error messages.
