Driven by the lack of comprehensive RSS bots available, I have decided to try my hand at creating one of my own. Designed with as much customization as possible for both users and bot hosters, while also (or should be) easy to understand.

All documentation can be found at https://github.com/synzen/Discord.RSS/wiki.

Looking for a non-Discord version of this bot? See https://github.com/synzen/feedtracker

See https://github.com/synzen/Discord.RSS/wiki/Setup

The fastest way to using Discord.RSS with an existing discord.js client with npm:

npm install discord.rss

const Discord = require('discord.js')
const DiscordRSS = require('discord.rss')

const client = new Discord.Client()
const drss = new DiscordRSS.Client({ database: { uri: './sources' } }) // File-based sources instead of Mongo

client.login('token')
drss.login(client) // Can be done before or after the client is 'ready'

or create a new client:

const DiscordRSS = require('discord.rss')

const drss = new DiscordRSS.Client({ database: { uri: './sources' } }) // Optional config overrides
drss.login('token')

There are multiple ways of integrating Discord.RSS programmatically - see here for more information. For full features, use a mongodb database.uri instead of a directory.

• Node.js
• discord.js

• Feedparser
• node-fetch
• cloudscraper
• Mongoose

• html-to-text - Convert HTML content
• moment-timezone - Customizable timezones
