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 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.


for k, v in ipairs(rss) do
	if v["description"] and v["pubDate"] and v["link"] then

-- 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 array 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 then 
-- Here we assign a new key to the links table, so that it can be accessed directly by the above conditions. The key is the post link, which is the one accessible unique attribute of each post.
				if k==1 then
					itemBefore["pubDate"] = v["pubDate"]
				end
				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	
		end
-- Bluesky's RSS feed is a little fucky; the first item in the table of items is just the bio, which has no published date, which means publish date for posts get thrown one out of order. So, I set the publish date in the table to be set here to be used in the next loop, to realign the dates. EDIT: Now it's two out of order fuck my entire baka life
		itemTwoBefore["pubDate"] = itemBefore["pubDate"]
		itemTwoBefore["link"] = itemBefore["link"]
		itemTwoBefore["description"] = itemBefore["description"]
		itemBefore["pubDate"] = v["pubDate"]
		itemBefore["link"] = v["link"]
		itemBefore["description"] = v["description"]

-- table.concat to convert it from Lua table form to a form the wikitext can use - hence why it was frame:expand and not just raw data being put in.
