This package allows users to subscribe to RSS/ATOM feeds and receive events when a new feed item is available. It creates one event/activation per feed item that meets the criteria.

##Architecture

##Usage To use this trigger feed, you need to pass the required parameters (refer to the table below)

wsk trigger create rss_trigger --feed /namespace/package/feed_name -p url 'url_to_rss' -p pollingInterval 'timePeriod'

e.g.
wsk trigger create rss_trigger --feed /guest/rss/rss_feed -p url 'http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml' -p pollingInterval '2h'

Accepted polling interval formats: 2 days, 1d, 10h, 2.5hrs, 2h, 1m, 5s

##Install/Uninstall RSS package This package can be installed locally(local openwhisk instance or a vendors OpenWhisk offering such as Bluemix OpenWhisk)

Install the package using ./install.sh $EDGE_HOST $AUTH_KEY $WSK_CLI $PROVIDER_ENDPOINT where :

• $EDGE_HOST is where openwhisk is deployed
• $AUTH_KEY is the OpenWhisk Authentication key(Run wsk property get to obtain it).
• $WSK_CLI is the path of OpenWhisk command interface binary
• $PROVIDER_ENDPOINT is the endpoint of the event provider service, i.e. http://host:port/rss

This will create a new package called rss as well as feed action within the package.

To uninstall the package, use ./uninstall.sh $EDGE_HOST $AUTH_KEY $WSK_CLI

./install.sh openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net $AUTH_KEY wsk $PROVIDER_ENDPOINT

./uninstall.sh openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net $AUTH_KEY wsk

Note: this assumes the wsk CLI is already installed(https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/openwhisk/cli).

##Testing Executing test case locally:

1. Copy your test files into openwhisk/tests/src/packages
2. vagrant ssh to your local vagrant environment
3. Navigate to the openwhisk directory
4. Run this command - gradle :tests:test --tests "packages.CLASS_NAME

To execute all tests, run gradle :tests:test

##Package contents

###Feeds

Note: If the filter parameter enables logic that only searches for matches in the feed items' titles and descriptions. If 60% or more of the keywords are found in the RSS feed item, an event will be fired for the feed item. For example, given that filter "Washington D.C.,capital,politics", an event will be fired only if 2 of the 3 keywords are present in the feed item.

In order to support the openwhisk package, there needs to be an event generating service that fires a trigger in the openwhisk environment. This service polls an RSS/ATOM source and applies logic to determine whether a feed item should be delivered to the openwhisk rss package. It uses internally a CouchDB database to persist the triggers information. You will need to initialized the DB prior to using this service. The event provider service keeps a registry of triggers. When a trigger is initially created, the service fires events for RSS feed items which are published within pollingInterval from now.

This service can be ran as a node app on your local machine. To run it use the following command:

node app.js CLOUDANT_USERNAME CLOUDANT_PASSWORD OPENWHISK_AUTH_KEY

This service can be hosted as a cf app on CloudFoundry. To deploy on IBM Bluemix:

1. change the name and host fields in the manifest.yml
2. Run cf push

Create a CouchDB/Cloudant instance called ow_triggers and the following database:

• registered_triggers
