The basic functionality ;; is geared toward simply adding new items found in a feed as ;; outline nodes to an Org file. Using hooks, arbitrary actions can ;; be triggered for new or changed items. ;; ;; Selecting feeds and target locations ;; ------------------------------------ ;; ;; This module is configured through a single variable, `org-feed-alist'. ;; Here is an example, using a notes/tasks feed from reQall.com. ;; ;; (setq org-feed-alist ;; '(("ReQall" ;; "http://www.reqall.com/user/feeds/rss/a1b2c3....." ;; "~/org/feeds.org" "ReQall Entries") ;; ;; With this setup, the command `M-x org-feed-update-all' will ;; collect new entries in the feed at the given URL and create ;; entries as subheadings under the "ReQall Entries" heading in the ;; file "~/org/feeds.org". Each feed should normally have its own ;; heading - however see the `:drawer' parameter. ;; ;; Besides these standard elements that need to be specified for each ;; feed, keyword-value pairs can set additional options. For example, ;; to de-select transitional entries with a title containing ;; ;; "reQall is typing what you said", ;; ;; you could use the `:filter' argument: ;; ;; (setq org-feed-alist ;; '(("ReQall" ;; "http://www.reqall.com/user/feeds/rss/a1b2c3....." ;; "~/org/feeds.org" "ReQall Entries" ;; :filter my-reqall-filter))) ;; ;; (defun my-reqall-filter (e) ;; (if (string-match "reQall is typing what you said" ;; (plist-get e :title)) ;; nil ;; e)) ;; ;; See the docstring for `org-feed-alist' for more details. ;; ;; ;; Keeping track of previously added entries ;; ----------------------------------------- ;; ;; Since Org allows you to delete, archive, or move outline nodes, ;; org-feed.el needs to keep track of which feed items have been handled ;; before, so that they will not be handled again. For this, org-feed.el ;; stores information in a special drawer, FEEDSTATUS, under the heading ;; that received the input of the feed. ;; ;; ;; Acknowledgments ;; --------------- ;; ;; org-feed.el is based on ideas by Brad Bozarth who implemented a ;; similar mechanism using shell and awk scripts. ;;; Code: (require 'org-macs) (unless (version< emacs-version "29") (org-assert-version)) (require 'org) (require 'sha1) (declare-function url-retrieve-synchronously "url" (url &optional silent inhibit-cookies timeout)) (declare-function xml-node-children "xml" (node)) (declare-function xml-get-children "xml" (node child-name)) (declare-function xml-get-attribute "xml" (node attribute)) (declare-function xml-get-attribute-or-nil "xml" (node attribute)) (declare-function xml-substitute-special "xml" (string)) (declare-function org-capture-escaped-% "org-capture" ()) (declare-function org-capture-expand-embedded-elisp "org-capture" (&optional mark)) (declare-function org-capture-inside-embedded-elisp-p "org-capture" ()) (defgroup org-feed nil "Options concerning RSS feeds as inputs for Org files." :tag "Org Feed" :group 'org) (defcustom org-feed-alist nil "Alist specifying RSS feeds that should create inputs for Org.

Each entry is a list with the following items: name a custom name for this feed URL the Feed URL file the target Org file where entries should be listed, when nil the target becomes the current buffer (may be an indirect buffer) each time the feed update is invoked headline the headline under which entries should be listed Additional arguments can be given using keyword-value pairs. Many of these specify functions that receive one or a list of \"entries\" as their single argument. An entry is a property list that describes a feed item. The property list has properties for each field in the item, for example `:title' for the `' field and `:pubDate' for the publication date. In addition, it contains the following properties: `:item-full-text' the full text in the <item> tag `:guid-permalink' t when the guid property is a permalink Here are the keyword-value pair allows in `org-feed-alist'. :drawer drawer-name The name of the drawer for storing feed information. The default is \"FEEDSTATUS\". Using different drawers for different feeds allows several feeds to target the same inbox heading. :filter filter-function A function to select interesting entries in the feed. It gets a single entry as parameter. It should return the entry if it is relevant, or nil if it is not. :template template-string The default action on new items in the feed is to add them as children under the headline for the feed. The template describes how the entry should be formatted. If not given, it defaults to `org-feed-default-template'. :formatter formatter-function Instead of relying on a template, you may specify a function to format the outline node to be inserted as a child. This function gets passed a property list describing a single feed item, and it should return a string that is a properly formatted Org outline node of level 1. :new-handler function If adding new items as children to the outline is not what you want to do with new items, define a handler function that is called with a list of all new items in the feed, each one represented as a property list. The handler should do what needs to be done, and org-feed will mark all items given to this handler as \"handled\", i.e. they will not be passed to this handler again in future readings of the feed. When the handler is called, point will be at the feed headline. :changed-handler function This function gets passed a list of all entries that have been handled before, but are now still in the feed and have *changed* since last handled (as evidenced by a different sha1 hash). When the handler is called, point will be at the feed headline. :parse-feed function This function gets passed a buffer, and should return a list of entries, each being a property list containing the `:guid' and `:item-full-text' keys. The default is `org-feed-parse-rss-feed'; `org-feed-parse-atom-feed' is an alternative. :parse-entry function This function gets passed an entry as returned by the parse-feed function, and should return the entry with interesting properties added. The default is `org-feed-parse-rss-entry'; `org-feed-parse-atom-entry' is an alternative." :group 'org-feed :type '(repeat (list :value ("" "http://" "" "") (string :tag "Name") (string :tag "Feed URL") (file :tag "File for inbox") (string :tag "Headline for inbox") (repeat :inline t (choice (list :inline t :tag "Filter" (const :filter) (symbol :tag "Filter Function")) (list :inline t :tag "Template" (const :template) (string :tag "Template")) (list :inline t :tag "Formatter" (const :formatter) (symbol :tag "Formatter Function")) (list :inline t :tag "New items handler" (const :new-handler) (symbol :tag "Handler Function")) (list :inline t :tag "Changed items" (const :changed-handler) (symbol :tag "Handler Function")) (list :inline t :tag "Parse Feed" (const :parse-feed) (symbol :tag "Parse Feed Function")) (list :inline t :tag "Parse Entry" (const :parse-entry) (symbol :tag "Parse Entry Function")) ))))) (defcustom org-feed-drawer "FEEDSTATUS" "The name of the drawer for feed status information.
