A simple Python project to automatically save links from RSS feeds to Pocket
First, register an app with Pocket. Make sure it has the Add permission. Take note of the resulting "consumer key."
git clone https://github.com/jarhill0/PocketRSS
cd pocketrss
cp example_config.py config.py
Now use your favorite text editor to edit config.py to contain your consumer
key. For instance, with nano:
nano config.py
Fill out the file data/feeds.txt with links to RSS/Atom feeds, one link per
line.
Change the current directory to the directory into which this repository was cloned. For example:
cd ~/PocketRSS
Running ls should show something that includes the pocketrss (lowercase)
directory like the following:
README.md pocketrss
Then run with python3 -m pocketrss.
The first run will require that you authenticate your Pocket account on the web. After that, your token will be saved.
The first run will store up to 20 posts from the last week of your feeds to your Pocket account. Subsequent runs will save all the posts with publish times after the most recent run.
This project is only intended to work with one Pocket account at a time. If you
wish to switch to a new account, just delete the file access_token.txt within
the directory data.
