mercury_fulltext
A Tiny Tiny RSS plugin written for tt-rss as a replacement for the grandpa-old plugin af_readability, which doesn't work well for many RSS sites I subscribe to.
The plugin supports real time extraction:
And per feed auto-extraction:
It utilizes postlight/mercury-parser-api to extract the full content for feeds. An API endpoint is required to use this plugin.
To host such an API, please visit postlight/mercury-parser-api. For a dockerized self-host solution, please visit my repo HenryQW/mercury-parser-api.
Warning
Tested on BBC, The New York Times, The Verge, Cult of Mac, iDownloadBlog etc, in which af_readability can't handle the content properly.
Some feeds may not render properly, if Mercury can't handle it. Eg. BBC video-only feeds.
Installation
Clone the repo into your tt-rss plugins folder.
Configuration
The configuration is identical to af_readability, except you have to save your API endpoint.
- Enable the plugin mercury_fulltext in Preferences/Plugins.
- Save your self-hosted Mercury Parser API Endpoint in the Mercury_fulltext settings under Feeds tab.
- Configure for feeds under Plugins tab of the Edit Feed window (you can right click your feed to get there).
References
- The plugin is modified based on af_readability.
