It would be great if links from an RSS feed could be imported automatically.


Use case: My RSS Reader generates an RSS feed from all articles I mark. It would be great if Wallabag would import this RSS feed automatically on a regular basis. So I could mark in my RSS feed reader all articles I want to read later and Wallabag would import them automatically.

Hi,

If you really want this feature and are not against a bit of tinkering, you can look into my (unfortunately a bit chaotic) Python script which does exactly that:
https://github.com/Findus23/rss2pocket
(Don’t be confused by the name. I initially wrote it for pocket but now migrated it to wallabag)

If you are interested, I can polish the documentation a bit and help you set it up.

Hello @mritzmann.

Today it"s not planned to add this feature in wallabag.

wallabag is a tool where you already selected articles (and save them to archive them or read them later).
With a RSS feed, you don"t have this "selection" part: all your articles will be saved into your wallabag account (or we can imagine an interface where you select with checkboxes the new articles to save).

I think that the better way to handle RSS feeds is to have ... a RSS reader whih integrates wallabag. You can find some of them here: https://wallabag.org/en#rss
Or you can use scripts like @Findus23 "s one 👍

@nicosomb I would also be extremely interested in this feature

I already select the articles in my feed reader (TT-RSS) by "starring" them. This creates a curated RSS feed. Previously with Pocket I would import that RSS feed with IFTTT.

There is a plugin for TT-RSS for Wallabag but it only works on the web interface, which I never use. Part of the appeal of TT-RSS is, like Wallabag, is there are many clients. So I can "star" an article from any client (iOS, desktop, web) and it will appear in my custom RSS feed.

So in order to integrate with my RSS reader, I need to import the RSS feed it creates :)

@Findus23 Thank you will try your solution

@oakbrad
I hope you like my script. I just remembered that there were some changes I wanted to do for a while.

If you have any issues or ideas, just contact me.

For those using miniflux as RSS reader, I have written a small emacs package that is able to sync articles of a set of feeds between miniflux and wallabag, and keep their "read" and "unread" status in sync. I have a cronjob running this periodically somewhere. It has no dependencies other than emacs itself. I wrote this so that I could read the news on my ereader, maybe it can be of use to others as well :)

Hi there,

Thank you for your feature request. We, at wallabag team, really appreciate external contributions and new ideas.
But this feature is not a wanted one by the core team.

You can for example fork wallabag (Open source spirit ❤️) or write a blog post to explain how implementing this feature.

I wrote a blog post about that: https://wallabag.org/en/news/wallabag-wont-accept-pr-feature-request

I hope that you can understand our choices.

Have a nice day,

Nicolas
