Description:

reader 3.14

reader is a Python feed reader library.
It is designed to allow writing feed reader applications
without any business code,
and without depending on a particular framework.

reader allows you to:

retrieve, store, and manage Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds
mark articles as read or important
add arbitrary tags/metadata to feeds and articles
filter feeds and articles
full-text search articles
get statistics on feed and user activity
write plugins to extend its functionality
skip all the low level stuff and focus on what makes your feed reader different

…all these with:

a stable, clearly documented API
excellent test coverage
fully typed Python

What reader doesn’t do:

provide an UI
provide a REST API (yet)
depend on a web framework
have an opinion of how/where you use it

The following exist, but are optional (and frankly, a bit unpolished):

a minimal web interface

that works even with text-only browsers
with automatic tag fixing for podcasts (MP3 enclosures)

a command-line interface

Documentation: reader.readthedocs.io
Usage:
$ pip install reader
>>> from reader import make_reader
>>>
>>> reader = make_reader('db.sqlite')
>>> reader.add_feed('http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss')
>>> reader.update_feeds()
>>>
>>> entries = list(reader.get_entries())
>>> [e.title for e in entries]
['H.I. #108: Project Cyclops', 'H.I. #107: One Year of Weird', ...]
>>>
>>> reader.mark_entry_as_read(entries[0])
>>>
>>> [e.title for e in reader.get_entries(read=False)]
['H.I. #107: One Year of Weird', 'H.I. #106: Water on Mars', ...]
>>> [e.title for e in reader.get_entries(read=True)]
['H.I. #108: Project Cyclops']
>>>
>>> reader.update_search()
>>>
>>> for e in reader.search_entries('year', limit=3):
... title = e.metadata.get('.title')
... print(title.value, title.highlights)
...
