Tree of Savior RSS Feed Project

Overview

Tree of Savior for the "international" region does not have its own RSS feed, so I sought to make one manually. This code scrapes one page of the "News" section of the website per run and creates an appropriate RSS feed. (The feed.xml.original file serves as the template, but doesn't contain entries.)

Usage

Run feed.py. You may also run db.py first to create the necessary database.

Requirements

This code is designed around the following:

• Python 3.5+
  • bs4 and its dependencies, used for scraping
  • requests and its dependencies, used in conjunction with bs4
  • feedgen and its dependencies, used for creating the RSS feed
  • pendulum and its dependencies, used for date and time
  • other requirements

Setup

Set up your environment for self-hosting. Read Requirements for dependencies. Python venv is highly recommended for managing your files, including dependencies. Like so:

$ git clone <url> && cd tos_rss
$ # venv may be installable in package management.
$ # For Debian-like distros, `apt install python3-venv`
$ python -m venv venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

No other configuration is necessary.

Live Version

See here. The file is generated every hour using cron. You are free to use the live version however you see fit.

For example, I have used IFTTT to post automatic messages in Discord. (If RSS Feed, then Webhooks.)
