What is it

A golang REST API that you can query passing a RSS Feed URI, in order to read your news.

For now, it can return JSON but it also can return just text.

I mainly use this app with curl, through a shell.

How do I set it up

• First, clone it
• cd inside it
• Run docker build -t [name] .
• Run docker run -d --env PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080 [name]
• There you go, it should run on your localhost:8080

How do I use it

In order to simply read the news from a curl

If you query localhost:8080/api/cli/rss/{YOUR_RSS_URI} you should get the list of the articles, with articles' number.

Then, query localhost:8080/api/cli/rss/{YOUR_RSS_URI}/item/{ARTICLE_NUMBER} to "open" an article, which means getting access to its description as well as the URI link to read it in your Web Browser.

Note: YOUR_RSS_URI should not contain "https://" or "http://".

In order to get the news in a JSON format

If you query localhost:8080/api/json/rss with the POST method, you can pass the following data :

{
    "name": "FranceInfo",
    "uri": "www.francetvinfo.fr/monde.rss"
}

so you get in return the articles in a JSON array. Each article contains the following properties :

{
        "id": Int,
        "title": String,
        "desc": String,
        "link": String
},

Now deployed thanks to Heroku !

You can use it from here : https://go-rss.herokuapp.com

List of things that will be done

• Deploy to Heroku [done !]
• Add a method so you can get JSON out of it [done]
• Reorganize the code because it's a mess [quite done]
• Add a post method [done !]

Why

Just wanted to practice go.
