RSS Box

This app uses the API of other websites and gives you an RSS feed in return. Quick and simple.

To open vlc:// links, see vlc-protocol.

You can use this app freely at rssbox.herokuapp.com. An experimental Elastic Beanstalk version is available.

Roll your own

Deploy

To deploy to Elastic Beanstalk, see .ebextensions/README.md.

To deploy to Kubernetes, see kubernetes/README.md.

Configuration

You need to get API keys for the respective services and populate the environment variables, e.g. by using an .env file.

A couple of services do not have official APIs, or do not require API keys, so they will work without any keys.

These services do not require API keys: Instagram, Periscope, Mixcloud, Speedrun, Ustream, Dailymotion.

Twitter

Go to Twitter Application Management and create a new app.

Once you have the consumer key and consumer secret, run the following to get the bearer token.

curl -X POST -d grant_type=client_credentials -u CONSUMER_KEY:CONSUMER_SECRET https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token

Copy the access_token and put it in the config.

YouTube

Go to the Google Developer Console, create a project and a server key. Copy the server key. Enable "YouTube Data API v3" in the project.

Vimeo

Go to the Vimeo developer website and create an app. Then create a personal access token.

Facebook

Note: This requires an app with the Page Public Content Access permission which requires manual approval from Facebook and is quite difficult to get. The official RSSBox website doesn't support Facebook anymore for this reason.

Go to the Facebook developer website and create an app. Copy your app id and secret.

Facebook live hax: After a live stream has ended, trying to access the stream via playlist.m3u8 will still give you a list of .ts files, however the domain is interncache-prn.fbcdn.net which doesn't resolve. However, if you edit your /etc/hosts file and point that domain to the IP of origincache-prn.fbcdn.net, you can watch the video again (use dig origincache-prn.fbcdn.net +short). This only works for a couple of days after the live event.

SoundCloud

Go to the SoundCloud developer website and create an app. Copy your client id and secret.

Twitch

Go to your Twitch settings and create an app. Copy your client id.

Imgur

Go to the Imgur settings and create an app. Copy your client id.
