feeder

A Node server app that hooks the reallysimple package up to the web.

Why?

To provide service to Drummer and possibly other apps that run in the browser.

Two calls

Two calls are supported: /returnjson and /returnopml. Both take a url parameter.

http://feeder.scripting.com/returnjson?url=http://scripting.com/rss.xml

• Returns a JSON structure containing the information in the feed, as processed by reallysimple.

http://feeder.scripting.com/returnopml?url=http://scripting.com/rss.xml

• Returns an OPML structure which you can insert into an outline, with all the items from the feed.

These calls are used from Drummer to implement the rss.readFeed verb and to allow expanding of rss node types.

Templates

You an also run the contents of a reallysimple query through a template, which is just a web page, which has the result of the query as a local object you can use JavaScript to render.

Here's the docs page for templates.

Caveats

If you're deploying a real application, please run your own copy of this app.

It's fine to use feeder.scripting.com for testing.
