simple-realtime-rss

The simplest realtime RSS feed server. No bot Oauth or anything!

Installing

For RSS, we use the external library here rss-feed-emitter. It can be installed with

npm i rss-feed-emitter

Configuration

In feeds.json you can list out the feeds you would want to ingest with this schema:

{
      "id": "e5c320e2-b058-415a-9b55-2c3230c6b59e",
      "name": "ExploitDB",
      "created_at": "2022-01-13T03:34:29.000Z",
      "url": "https://www.exploit-db.com/rss.xml",
      "rating": 1,
      "active": true,
      "category": "VULNERABILITY",
      "protocol": "rss",
      "description": "The Exploit Database - Exploits, Shellcode, 0days, Remote Exploits, Local Exploits, Web Apps, Vulnerability Reports, Security Articles, Tutorials and more."
}

The only required fields in this schema are url and active. The server will not ingest any feeds that are not "active": true.

In config.json, you may set the refresh interval and the webhook url:

{
    "webhook": "<url>",
    "refresh_interval": 2000
}

For instance, a Discord channel webhook can be obtained by following these instructions: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks .

Running

Just run node server.js. An initial poll will grab all the current content, then it will just run into perpetuity. You can deploy to your server as a background task using nohup node server.js & or even maybe using Glitch as free hosting.
