# PocketRSS

RSS in your pocket, literally.

I made PocketRSS because my Kobo Libra did not have an RSS newsreader, however, it did have a pocket section (Under the latest version of NickelOS, it's located on`More -> My Articles`)

### How to set it up

Due to Pocket only allowing OAuth 2.0 instead of Personal API Keys, it's a bit more complicated.

1. Create a new app. You will need to give it the following permissions:

- Application Name: [Anything you want]

- Application Description: [Anything you want]

- Permissions:

  - Add

- Platforms:

  - Web

- I accept the [Terms of Service](https://getpocket.com/developer/docs/tos): Yes.

2. Place your "Consumer Key" in your .env file as `POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY`

3. Place your domain name (or IP address) that pocketrss is running on as `DOMAIN` in your `.env` file.

After steps 3 and 4, your `.env` file should look like this:

```env

DOMAIN=domain.tld

POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY=wqh83y2-wi7777uqo3fy1orp2eru3o88

```

4. Start the server and visit `/getoAuthToken`. It will redirect you to a page like this:

5. Set `POCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN` in your `.env` file to the API token it gives you.

At the end of this, your `.env` file should something like this:

```env

DOMAIN=domain.tld

POCKET_CONSUMER_KEY=wqh83y2-wi7777uqo3fy1orp2eru3o88

POCKET_OAUTH_TOKEN=7uyet1-92i8-2huew-jihqu-28eu2

```

### Your config

Here is the `config.js` but commented to show it how it works:

```js

module.exports = {

  feeds: [

    // Array of atom/rss URLs

    "https://jakewharton.com/atom.xml",

    "https://web.dev/feed.xml"

  ],

  // every n ms will the feeds will be fetched. To get minutes, take min * 60000 to get milliseconds. Seconds is sec * 1000.

  interval: 900000,

  // the port that pocketrss will be listening.

  port: 3000

};

```

(also, sorry for the spaghetti code, I'm lazy)
