# Scarf - Yet Another GPlus RSS Feed Generator
This is a simple [nodejs](nodejs.org) server for generating RSS feeds for your
[public Google+ posts](https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities).
I primarily built this so I could have G+ posts as inputs into [IFTTT](http://ifttt.com). Due to
API limits I'm not going to try running this as a service, but feel free to fork the code and run
your own version. You can get it up and running with Heroku really quickly.
## Set up
You need to request an API key from the [Google APIs Console](https://code.google.com/apis/console),
it will have a limit of 10,000 requests per day. The server can read the API key from the
environment variable `G_API_KEY` or from a `api-key` file in the package root.
## Running manually
```
npm install
npm start
# OR
node lib/server.js --port [XXXX] --host [hostname]
```
The server defaults to running on port 5051.
## Running on Heroku
Read the [Heroku Quickstart Guide](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/quickstart) then:
```
git clone [email protected]:dpup/scarf.git
cd scarf
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku config:add G_API_KEY=[your-api-key]
```
## Viewing feeds
Feeds will then be available at `http://host:port/profileid`. Mine, for example, is
`http://localhost:5051/111499016778755078481`.
