Is anyone aware of an existing project that can do something like this:
- Access an RSS feed.
- Parse the contents of the items in the feed, and fetch linked images.
- Take the new feed elements and add them to previously fetched elements.
- Store all of the content in a merged RSS/XML file, or something like a SQLite DB.
Context: I’d like to archive Mastodon posts of an account automatically. I’d prefer it to be a script/binary I could run on Linux as I’d likely throw it in a GitHub action and save the resulting output in the git repo.
I could probably whip something together but I’m lazy and I’d prefer to use something that already exists.
Best way to learn is to dive in and try to accomplish something you want to do
