hubXml

A tool to turn any blog into a HubSpot importable XML file. It will grab post titles, meta descriptions, publish dates, authors, tags, featured images and post bodies, and turns them all into importable XML <items>, building a HubSpot importable XML file. Plain and simple, this allows you to import any blog into HubSpot, not just Wordpress blogs 🎉

hubXml/src/main/java/hubXml.java

Selectors are set in hubXmlSelectors.java
XML building happens in hubXmlBuilders.java
USAGE
Requires manually setting a few variables in hubXmlSelectors.java and soup selectors to make sure we can scrub content, and get all the content and data we need to import a blog into HubSpot. Quite a few other XML elements are set without any selector to set. Running will output a blog.xml file which can be imported into HubSpot using the Blog Importer. If required elements are not able to be found, default values are set, and errors are logged.

variables & soup selectors to set in hubXml/src/main/java/hubXmlSelectors.java

Required Elements:
There are 3 options for telling hubXml which posts to scrub. Sitemap, listing pagination, and manual listing (order of how easy). Leave the 2 non-used post finding options selectors as empty strings """

1. SITEMAP - finds posts from sitemaps based on a blog root URL and sitemap. Requires that a site has a sitemap and the posts follow a root url + extension pattern. Ex. www.blog.com/blog-root-url/post-slug will find all URLS in the sitemap with www.blog.com/blog-root-url/<slug> structure. If using this option, set BLOG_ROOT_URL
2. LISTING PAGINATION - finds posts by jumping through paginated listing pages grabbing post URLs. Requires paginated listing pages with the post URLs. If using this option set BLOG_LISTING_URL, BLOG_LISTING_LINKS_SELECTOR & BLOG_LISTING_PAGINATOR. NOTE: If your listing page is not paginated, and has all of your posts on one page, just set BLOG_LISTING_PAGINATOR to be meep so hubXml does not find a second page
3. MANUAL LISTING - requires manually setting the POSTS array with the posts for hubXml to scrub
