Simple Feed Aggregator in Ruby

Ruby already has few RSS standard libraries (0.9, 1.0 , 2.0) in built, and it is good enough for simple purpose.

Today, I am trying to work on a simple feed aggregator, which could take multiple feed source url's and enlists the stories published there. I was tempted to use the standard library, however since it would not support the Atom standard, started looking for another library which supports both.

SimpleRSS lib by Lucas Carlson looks great.

So, here goes the code. You may extend it if you wish.


require 'simple-rss'
require 'open-uri'

class FeedAggregator
def initialize(urls)
@urls = urls
@feeds = []
read_feeds
end

def read_feeds
@urls.each { |url| @feeds.push(SimpleRSS.new(open(url).read)) }
end

def feed_source_counts
@feeds.each_with_index do |feed, index|
feed_source = "Feed Source [#{index}]: #{feed.channel.title}"
published_articles = "Published Articles: #{feed.items.size}"
puts feed_source + ', ' + published_articles
end
end

def list_articles(id)
puts "-----Feed Source [#{id}] : #{@feeds[id].channel.title}-----"
@feeds[id].items.each { |item| puts ' ' + item.title }
end

def list_all_articles
@feeds.each_with_index { |f, i| list_articles(i) }
end
end

MyFeedAggregator = FeedAggregator.new(ARGV)
MyFeedAggregator.feed_source_counts
puts "------------ Feed Details ------------------"
MyFeedAggregator.list_all_articles



Here is the test run :
