# PubSubHubbub Subscribing for CouchDB | ||
|
||
Make CouchDB accept and store PubSubHubbub feeds! Original concept by @rdfturtle (Tyler Gillies) | ||
|
||
# Why is this cool? | ||
|
||
So I reckon you have some old and busted RSS or ATOM feeds that you need to pull from whenever you want updates, right? | ||
|
||
Well, little buddy, it's time to enter the world of push! | ||
|
||
Hook your pull feeds into the magic that is PubSubHubbubb (superfeedr.com does this for you... _for free!_) and they will push to a specific PubSubHubbubb subscriber endpoint whenever they have new content. | ||
|
||
You might be asking "where am I going to get a valid PubSubHubbubb subscriber endpoint to store all of these awesome feed pushes"? Well, i'm glad you asked! | ||
|
||
With Couchpubtato, you can make any Couch database act like a valid PubSubHubbubb subscriber endpoint. | ||
|
||
# I still don't get it | ||
|
||
Ok, so lets say you want to embed a feed of upcoming calendar events on your _sweet blog_, but the calendar page only has a junky RSS feed! You can use Superfeedr to push new RSS updates in realtime to a CouchDB of your choice, which turns your previously junky RSS feed into a full JSONP enabled API for maximum client side widget goodness! | ||
|
||
Here's an example of this whole thingy working: I log all Portland, OR 911 calls and make them available as ActivityStreams here: <code>http://pdxapi.com/pdx911/feed?descending=true&limit=5</code> | ||
|
||
# ActivityStreams | ||
|
||
By default this will convert any incoming XML RSS/ATOM feed data into JSON [ActivityStreams](http://activitystrea.ms) format. ActivityStreams are the new hotness, pure XML ATOM/RSS is old and busted. Here's an example of an ActivityStreams formatted feed item: | ||

} | ||
} | ||
|
||
# Quick install | ||
|
||
* Get a free hosted Couch from [CouchOne](http://couchone.com/get) and a free Superfeedr subscriber account from [Superfeedr](http://superfeedr.com) | ||
* Make a new database on your couch: <code>curl -X PUT http://YOURCOUCH/DBNAME</code> | ||
* Copy Couchpubtato to the new db: <code>curl -X POST http://YOURCOUCH/\_replicate -d '{"source":"http://max.couchone.com/apps","target":"apps", "doc\_ids":["_design/push"]}'</code> | ||
* Tell Superfeedr to store an XML feed in your Couch: <code>curl -X POST http://superfeedr.com/hubbub -u'SUPERFEEDRUSERNAME:SUPERFEEDRPASSWORD' -d'hub.mode=subscribe' -d'hub.verify=sync' -d'hub.topic=YOURFEEDURL' -d'hub.callback=http://YOURCOUCH/DBNAME/\_design/push/_rewrite/xml' -D-</code> | ||
|
||
# In-depth install | ||
|
||
You can use any CouchDB hosted pubicly (so that Superfeedr can post updates to it), but I'll assume you're working with a free Couch hosted by [CouchOne](http://couchone.com/get). You'll have to create a new database to store your data. I'll call mine <code>awesome-events</code>. You can do this from http://YOURCOUCH/_utils. | ||
|
||
You can either replicate the couchapp from my couch [max.couchone.com/apps/_design/push](http://max.couchone.com/apps/_design/push) (quickest option) or, if you want to hack on the Couchpubtato source code first, you'll need to install the [CouchApp command line utility](http://couchapp.org/page/installing) and check out this repo. | ||
|
||
If you want to hack on Couchpubtato/build it yourself, once you have the couchapp utility working, <code>git clone</code> this repo and go into this folder and execute <code>couchapp init</code>. To upload Couchpubtato into your couch just run <code>couchapp push http://YOURCOUCH/DATABASENAME</code>. Otherwise see the Quick install section above. | ||
|
||
When you push Couchpubtato into your Couch it will enhance your new database with the magical PubSubHubbubb sprinkles contained in Couchpubtato and teach your database how to store PubSubHubbubb data. | ||
|
||
Once your database is ready to store data, we need to use Superfeedr to hook up a feed to dump into your new PubSubHubbubb enabled Couch database. | ||
|
||
Now go get a free Subscriber account at [Superfeedr](http://superfeedr.com) | ||
|
||
To subscribe to a feed, use the following <code>curl</code> command: | ||
|
||
<code>curl -X POST http://superfeedr.com/hubbub -u'SUPERFEEDRUSERNAME:SUPERFEEDRPASSWORD' -d'hub.mode=subscribe' -d'hub.verify=sync' -d'hub.topic=YOURFEEDURL' -d'hub.callback=http://YOURCOUCH/DATABASENAME/\_design/push/_rewrite/xml' -D-</code> | ||
|
||
It should return a <code>204</code> if everything was fine, and if not, it will indicate what was wrong in the BODY. If you don't like curl, there also exist PubSubHubbub libraries in many languages. | ||
|
||
Now any feed updates will get sent to your Couch and will be converted and saved as JSON ActivityStreams objects. | ||
|
||
# Known issues | ||
|
||
Superfeedr will send multiple feed updates in a single update, so if 3 new items were posted to your feed, it will send a single XML update containing 3 items. Couch currently can only create a single document for each update, so you may see documents that contain multiple feed items. A more desirable situation would be a 1:1 ratio of documents in Couch to feed items. | ||
