Patreon Web Scraper & RSS Formatter

[mr-tchoo]

Hi @martinrotter,

I've created a small script to scrape posts from Patreon creators using the automation tool Puppeteer.
The repository also has information on how to use it with RSS Guard.

You can find it here.

Maybe you can add it to this part of the documentation.

Thanks for working on this project and have a nice day. 😀

Hi. Wow what a nice script. Will add to docs later, crazily busy right now.

Btw, you can call "node" directly from RSS Guard, instead of calling to by some other way outside of RSS Guard (cron etc.).

Thanks, no problem, take your time. 👍

And right I didn't think about the option to set a custom time on the feed which wouldn't get me rate limited directly in RSS Guard with the previous Patreon script, so I ran the script on a different schedule outside of it. Though rate limiting isn't as big of an issue with the new one. I will change the README. Good to know! 💡

I've added the option of dumping the feed as stdout and added a note on how and who might use it this way with RSS Guard.
