I'm using django-yarr for my RSS reader applications. Is there any way to fetch content from RSS URL and save in database? Or is there any library that could do that?
Are you looking to read data from an RSS, process it and save it?
Use Requests to fetch the data.
import requests
req = requests.get('http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml')
reg.text // XML as a string
BeautifulSoup, lxml or ElementTree to process the data (or similar libraries that can process xml)
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(req.text)
images = soup.findAll('media:thumbnail')
Finally do whatever you want with the data
for image in images:
thing = DjangoModelThing()
thing.image = image.attrs.get('url')
thing.save()
UPDATE
Alternatively you could grab each article from the RSS
articles = soup.findAll('item')
for article in articles:
title = article.find('title')
description = article.find('description')
link = article.find('link')
images = article.find('media:thumbnail')
