RSS Feed Monitor and Message Dispatcher

This repository contains three Python scripts: monitor_rss.py, get_user_id.py, and push_dingding.py.

monitor_rss.py is a script that monitors specified RSS feeds for new entries and sends updates to a specified Telegram user through a bot.

get_user_id.py is a script that helps you retrieve the user ID of a Telegram user, which is necessary for monitor_rss.py to send updates to the correct person.

push_dingding.py is a script that can send messages to DingTalk (also known as DINGDING) by using DingTalk's outgoing webhooks feature.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed the following Python packages:

• telebot
• feedparser
• beautifulsoup4

If not, you can install them using pip:

pip install pyTelegramBotAPI feedparser beautifulsoup4

Installing

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rss-feed-monitor.git

Usage

get_user_id.py

Before running monitor_rss.py, you need to get the user ID of the Telegram user to whom the bot should send updates.

1. Replace bot_token in get_user_id.py with your Telegram bot token.

bot_token = 'your-telegram-bot-token'

2. Run get_user_id.py. It will print the user ID and the message text of every message your bot has received.

python get_user_id.py

monitor_rss.py

1. Replace bot_token and user_id in monitor_rss.py with your Telegram bot token and the user ID you got from get_user_id.py, respectively.

bot_token = 'your-telegram-bot-token'
user_id = 'your-user-id'

2. Replace rss_urls with the list of RSS feeds you want to monitor.

rss_urls = ['rss-feed-1', 'rss-feed-2', '...']

3. If you want to send messages to DingTalk as well, import the send_to_dd function from push_dingding.py and call it in the send_message function.

4. Run monitor_rss.py. It will check the RSS feeds every 5 minutes and send a Telegram message (and a DingTalk message if configured) for each new entry.

python monitor_rss.py

push_dingding.py

1. Replace secret and access_token with your DingTalk webhook's secret and access token.

secret = "your-secret"
access_token = "your-access-token"

2. Call send_to_dd(msg) function, where msg is the message you want to send.

send_to_dd("Hello, DingTalk!")
