Support

Hey dude! Help me out for a couple of :beers: or a :coffee:!

Installation

Open HACS Settings and add this repository (https://github.com/custom-components/feedparser/) as a Custom Repository (use Integration as the category).
The feedparser page should automatically load (or find it in the HACS Store)
Click Install

Alternatively, click on the button below to add the repository:

Configuration

Example configuration.yaml:

sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Engineering Feed
    feed_url: 'https://www.sciencedaily.com/rss/matter_energy/engineering.xml'
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
    inclusions:
      - title
      - link
      - description
      - image
      - published
    exclusions:
      - language

  # Configuration of the second sensor tracking a different RSS feed
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Algemeen
    feed_url: https://www.nu.nl/rss/Algemeen
    local_time: true
    show_topn: 1

If you wish the integration to look for enclosures in the feed entries, add image to inclusions list. Do not use enclosure. The integration tries to get the link to an image for the given feed item and stores it under the attribute named image. If it fails to find it, it assigns the Home Assistant logo to it instead.

Note that the original pubDate field is available under published attribute for the given feed entry. Other date-type values that can be available are updated, created and expired. Please refer to the documentation of the original feedparser library.

Configuration variables:

key	description
platform (Required)	The platform name
name (Required)	Name your feed
feed_url (Required)	The RSS feed URL
date_format (Optional)	strftime date format for date strings Default `%a, %b %d %I:%M %p`
local_time (Optional)	Whether to convert date into local time Default false
show_topn (Optional)	fetch how many entres from rss source，if not set then fetch all
inclusions (Optional)	List of fields to include from populating the list
exclusions (Optional)	List of fields to exclude from populating the list
scan_interval (Optional)	Update interval in hours

Note: Will return all fields if no inclusions or exclusions are specified

Due to how custom_components are loaded, it is normal to see a ModuleNotFoundError error on first boot after adding this, to resolve it, restart Home-Assistant.
