This is a proof-of-concept implementation for posting RSS/Atom content to Bluesky. Some hacking may be required. Issues and pull requests welcome to improve the system.
- arrow - Time handling for humans
- atproto - AT protocol implementation for Python. The API of the library is still unstable, but the version is pinned in requirements.txt
- fastfeedparser - For feed parsing with a unified API
- httpx - For grabbing remote media
- Deduplication: The script queries the target timeline and only posts RSS items that are more recent than the latest top-level post by the handle.
- Filters: Easy to extend code to support filters on RSS contents for simple transformations and limiting cross-posts.
- Minimal rich-text support (links): Rich text is represented in a typed hierarchy in the AT protocol. This script currently performs post-processing on filtered string content of the input feeds to support links as long as they stand as a single line in the text. This definitely needs some improvement.
- Threading for long posts
- Tags
- Image references: Can forward image links from RSS to Bsky
- Start by installing the required libraries
pip install -r requirements.txt - Copy the configuration file and then edit it
cp config.json.sample config.json - Run the script like
python rss2bsky.py
The configuration file accepts the configuration of:
- a feed URL
- bsky parameters for a handle, username, and password
- Handle is like name.bsky.social
- Username is the email address associated with the account.
- Password is your password. If you have a literal quote it can be escaped with a backslash like
\"
- sleep - the amount of time to sleep while running
