rss-motor v0.0.4 ~ a rubygem to ease up your RSS interactions

started a new rubygem project 'rss-motor' (http://rubygems.org/gems/rss-motor) to aid all RSS consuming code by providing the entire (or filtered as per choice) of feeds as Array of Hash values per Feed Item.

I tried it in a new project 'rss-fanatic' (https://github.com/abhishekkr/rss-fanatic) making to help out RSS Feed fanatics collecting required content without pain of browsing/saving/downloading. Though RSS-Fanatic project is just started and shall be usable in some time soon.

Here is just a mini HowTo easily power you code with rss-motor:

First, obviously you'll need to install the gem

$  gem install rss-motor

or if luckily you already have a Gemfile usage, add following lines to it

source "http://rubygems.org"
gem 'rss-motor'


Now, currently available engines from the rss-motor

• simple way of getting all the items as array of key=value
  puts Rss::Motor.rss_items 'http://news.ycombinator.com/rss'

• get an array of items filtered by one or more keywords
  puts "#{Rss::Motor.rss_grep 'http://news.ycombinator.com/rss', ['ruby', 'android']}"

• to filter even the data of content available at >link/< field present in item plus normal filter
  puts "#{Rss::Motor.rss_grep_link 'http://news.ycombinator.com/rss', ['ruby', 'android']}"

now go on, ride your own rss-bikes.....
