rss-to-telegram

Publishes new items from an RSS feed to a telegram chat (group, channel, direct).

Config

Create a config.json file containing:

{
  "published_database": "published-posts.json",
  "source": {
    "feed": "your-feed-url (with http or https)",
    "refresh_interval": 6000
  },
  "telegram": {
    "token": "your bot token",
    "channel": your chat id
  }
}

• published_database: The json file that will contain already sent item updates from the feed

• feed: URI pointing to the RSS feed

• refresh_interval: Delay between two feed update in milliseconds

• token: Telegram bot token (get one @BotFather)

• channel: Telegram chat id (must be an integer API id)

• status_monitor_port: If set, will open a simple webserver that always responds 200 on that port. This can be used as a way to determine if this service is still running via e.g. uptime robot.
