Module:Bluesky RSS Feed

This module is a custom-designed RSS feed, designed to process a Bluesky RSS feed and output it as a template. Up to three search keywords can be input - OR rather than AND - to find posts that mention any of the keywords. A Bluesky RSS feed can be found by going to any user's page, and typing /rss at the end of the URL before hitting enter.

Usage

{{Template:Bluesky RSS Feed
|url= Bluesky RSS feed URL
|term1= Optional search term
|term2= Optional search term
|term3= Optional search term
}}

Example

{{Template:Bluesky RSS Feed
|url=https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ve2p3lz33ivtyikqztvsgtx3/rss
|term1=#NOISZ
}}

We're hearing that some players using Android 16 are having trouble installing 2NDS+ (the NOISZ SL prequel VNs) from Google Play. We're making the .apk permanently available here as we look into a more user-friendly solution. #NOISZ_SL http://anarch.games/starlivht/2nds.apk

}

-- We iterate over every post found in the RSS feed, in chronological order - hence ipairs. We need description, publish date AND link to know that it's a post. Additionally, k has to be more than 1 as the very first post to pop up in an RSS feed is the user bio which is not an actual post. The "links" array is a directory of links that have been processed; if it's already been processed, then it won't be added again. This helps for if there's more than one search term.


-- It's k - 1 to account for the first post being the bsky profile's about.

for k, v in ipairs(rss) do
	if v["description"] and v["pubDate"] and v["link"] and #links <= maxLength then
		links[v["link"]] = nil

-- Search over every search term in the search terms to make sure a post contains that term. If so, we bundle up the information into template form via the frame:expandTemplate method - the "Bluesky RSS Feed Row" template, to be precise - and put it into an incremental table which will later be expanded in full.

		for a, b in pairs(searchTerms) do
			if string.find(v["description"],b) and links[v["link"]] ~= true and k > 1 then
				links[v["link"]] = true
				table.insert(posts, frame:expandTemplate{title = 'Bluesky RSS Feed Row', args = {description = v["description"], pubDate = v["pubDate"], link=v["link"]}})
			end

-- Table.concat to move it from Lua table form to a form the wikitext can use.
