LFH-feed

Generate a self-hosted full-episodes RSS feed for APM's Live From Here.

The Live from Here radio program distributes only curated highlights in their official podcast feed, but full episodes are hosted on their website. This is a simple script to periodically scrape the site (using Puppeteer) and generate a full-episodes RSS feed that you can subscribe and listen from your preferred podcast client instead of on the website.

I host a feed at http://lifford.org/LFH-feed/feed.xml, but that's subject to removal at any time.

To host your own, you'll first need an FTP server of your own, then:

• Clone or download this repo.
• Install dependencies with npm or yarn.
• Open the config-sample.json file and fill out your details. The fields starting with FTP are for the automatic FTP connection, and the fields after that are for the published feed. The IMG_URL field will need to be the final published absolute path of the lfh-cover-img.jpg file on your server after FTP transfer.
• Make sure the index.js file is executable on your machine.
• Set up a cron task on your machine to run the index.js script at regular intervals.
