It can fetch a RSS/Atom feed on a regular interval as well as on customized times. It also keeps track of already fetched entries so that you will only get the new entries. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item $feed_reader = AnyEvent::Feed->new (url => $url, %args) This is the constructor for a new feed reader for the RSS/Atom feed reachable by the URL C<$url>. C<%args> may contain additional key/value pairs: =over 4 =item interval => $seconds If this is set you also have to specify the C callback (see below). It will try to fetch the C<$url> every C<$seconds> seconds and call the callback given by C with the result. =item headers => $http_hdrs Additional HTTP headers for each GET request can be passed in the C<$http_hdrs> hash reference, just like you would pass it to the C argument of the C request of L. =item username => $http_user =item password => $http_pass These are the HTTP username and password that will be used for Basic HTTP Authentication with the HTTP server when fetching the feed. This is mostly sugar for you so you don't have to encode them yourself and pass them to the C argument above. =item on_fetch => $cb->($feed_reader, $new_entries, $feed_obj, $error) This callback is called if the C parameter is given (see above) with the same arguments as the callback given to the C method (see below). =item entry_ages => $hash This will set the hash which keeps track of seen and old entries. See also the documentation of the C method below. The default will be an empty hash reference. =item max_entry_age => $count This will set the maximum number of times an entry is kept in the C hash after it has not been seen in the feed anymore. The default value is 2 which means that an entry hash is removed from the C hash after it has not been seen in the feed for 2 fetches. =back =cut sub new { my $this = shift; my $class = ref($this) || $this; my $self = { @_ }; bless $self, $class; $self->{entry_ages} ||= {}; if (defined $self->{interval}) { unless (defined $self->{on_fetch}) { croak "no 'on_fetch' callback given!"; } my $wself = $self; weaken $wself; $self->{timer_cb} = sub { $wself->fetch (sub { my ($self, $e, $f, $err) = @_; $self->{on_fetch}->($self, $e, $f, $err); $self->{timer} = AnyEvent->timer ( after => $self->{interval}, cb => $self->{timer_cb}); }) }; $self->{timer_cb}->(); } return $self } sub _entry_to_hash { my ($entry) = @_; my $x = sha1_base64 encode 'utf-8', (my $a = join '/', $entry->title, ($entry->summary ? $entry->summary->body : ''), ($entry->content ? $entry->content->body : ''), $entry->id, $entry->link); $x } sub _new_entries { my ($self) = @_; $self->{entry_ages} ||= {}; my (@ents) = $self->{feed}->entries; my @new; # 'age' the old entries $self->{entry_ages}->{$_}++ for keys %{$self->{entry_ages}}; for my $ent (@ents) { my $hash = _entry_to_hash ($ent); unless (exists $self->{entry_ages}->{$hash}) { push @new, [$hash, $ent]; } $self->{entry_ages}->{$hash} = 0; # reset age of old entry. } for (keys %{$self->{entry_ages}}) { delete $self->{entry_ages}->{$_} if $self->{entry_ages}->{$_} > $self->{max_entry_ages}; } \@new } =item $feed_reader->url Just returns the url that this feed reader is fetching from. =cut sub url { $_[0]->{url} } =item $feed_reader->entry_ages ($new_entry_ages) =item my $entry_ages = $feed_reader->entry_ages This will set the age hash which will keep track of already seen entries. The keys of the hash will be the calculated hashes of the entries and the values will be a counter of how often they have NOT been seen anymore (kind of an age counter). After each fetch this hash is updated and seen entries get a value of 0. =cut sub entry_ages { defined $_[1] ? $_[0]->{entry_ages} = $_[1] : $_[0]->{entry_ages} } =item $feed_reader->fetch ($cb->($feed_reader, $new_entries, $feed_obj, $error)) This will initiate a HTTP GET on the URL passed to C and call C<$cb> when done. C<$feed_reader> is the feed reader object itself. C<$new_entries> is an array reference containing the new entries. A new entry in that array is another array containing a calculated hash over the contents of the new entry, and the L object of that entry. C<$feed_obj> is the L feed object used to parse the fetched feed and contains all entries (and not just the 'new' ones). What a 'new' entry is, is decided by a map of hashes as described in the C method's documentation above. =cut sub _get_headers { my ($self, %hdrs) = @_; my %hdrs = %{$self->{headers} || {}}; if (defined $self->{last_mod}) { $hdrs{'If-Modified-Since'} = $self->{last_mod}; } $hdrs{Authorization} = "Basic " . encode_base64 (join ':', $self->{username}, $self->{password}) if defined $self->{username}; \%hdrs } sub fetch { my ($self, $cb) = @_; unless (defined $cb) { croak "no callback given to fetch!"; } http_get $self->{url}, headers => $self->_get_headers, sub { my ($data, $hdr) = @_; #d# warn "HEADERS ($self->{last_mod}): " #d# .

L by default gives you UTF-8 encoded data. You have to set this global variable to be able to use the L interface without knowledge of the underlying feed type: $XML::Atom::ForceUnicode = 1; I've re-reported this bug against L, as I think it should take care of this. L should probably just fix it's Unicode interface, but it seems to be a bit deserted w.r.t. fixing the bugs in the tracker. =head2 Contact Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L. I will be notified and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes. =head1 SUPPORT You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc AnyEvent::Feed You can also look for information at: =over 4 =item * IRC: AnyEvent::Feed IRC Channel See the same channel as the L module: IRC Network: http://freenode.net/ Server : chat.freenode.net Channel : #ae_xmpp Feel free to join and ask questions! =item * AnnoCPAN: Annotated CPAN documentation L =item * CPAN Ratings L =item * RT: CPAN's request tracker L =item * Search CPAN L =back =head1 COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright 2009 Robin Redeker, all rights reserved.
