Find the feed URLs for a website.

Project description

This is an asynchronous Python library for finding links feeds on a website.

It is based on the synchronous (requests based) feedfinder2, written by Dan Foreman-Mackey, which is based on feedfinder - originally written by Mark Pilgrim and subsequently maintained by Aaron Swartz until his untimely death.

Usage

Feedfinder2 offers a single public function: find_feeds. You would use it as following:

import asyncio
from feedfinder2 import find_feeds

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
task = asyncio.ensure_future(find_feeds("xkcd.com"))
feeds = loop.run_until_complete(future)

Now, feeds is the list: ['http://xkcd.com/atom.xml', 'http://xkcd.com/rss.xml']. There is some attempt made to rank feeds from best candidate to worst but… well… you never know.

This asyncio variant is ideally suited to find feeds on multiple domains/ sites in an asynchronous way:

import asyncio
from feedfinder2 import find_feeds

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
tasks = [find_feeds(url) for url in ["xkcd.com", "abstrusegoose.com"]]
feeds = loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.gather(*tasks))

>>> feeds
... [
...     ['http://xkcd.com/atom.xml', 'http://xkcd.com/rss.xml'],
...     ['http://abstrusegoose.com/feed.xml', 'http://abstrusegoose.com/atomfeed.xml']
... ]
