org: RSS Feeds
9.3 RSS feeds
=============
Org can add and change entries based on information found in RSS feeds
and Atom feeds. You could use this to make a task out of each new
podcast in a podcast feed. Or you could use a phone-based note-creating
service on the web to import tasks into Org. To access feeds, configure
the variable ‘org-feed-alist’. The docstring of this variable has
detailed information. Here is just an example:
(setq org-feed-alist
'(("Slashdot"
"http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot"
"~/txt/org/feeds.org" "Slashdot Entries")))
will configure that new items from the feed provided by
‘rss.slashdot.org’ will result in new entries in the file
‘~/org/feeds.org’ under the heading ‘Slashdot Entries’, whenever the
following command is used:
‘C-c C-x g (org-feed-update-all)’
‘C-c C-x g’
Collect items from the feeds configured in ‘org-feed-alist’ and act
upon them.
‘C-c C-x G (org-feed-goto-inbox)’
Prompt for a feed name and go to the inbox configured for this
feed.
Under the same headline, Org will create a drawer ‘FEEDSTATUS’ in
which it will store information about the status of items in the feed,
to avoid adding the same item several times. You should add
‘FEEDSTATUS’ to the list of drawers in that file:
#+DRAWERS: LOGBOOK PROPERTIES FEEDSTATUS
For more information, including how to read atom feeds, see
‘org-feed.el’ and the docstring of ‘org-feed-alist’.
