Hoyolab RSS Feeds

Generate RSS news feeds for Hoyoverse games like Genshin Impact or Honkai Starrail based on the official Hoyolab forum posts. Available feed formats are Atom and JSON Feed. This application is supposed to run periodically by a cronjob for example.

There are some feeds already hosted by myself!

Installation

You need at least Python 3.8 and the package manager Pip installed. You can then install this package from PyPI with:

pip install hoyolab-rss-feeds

Usage

CLI

You can run the application like this:

hoyolab-rss-feeds

or as module:

python -m hoyolabrssfeeds

If no configuration can be found, the application will create a default config in your current directory (./hoyolab-rss-feeds.toml) and will exit afterward.

You can specify a path for the config file with a parameter:

hoyolab-rss-feeds -c path/to/config.toml

Module

It is also possible to generate the feeds via code:

from pathlib import Path
from hoyolabrssfeeds import FeedConfigLoader, GameFeed, GameFeedCollection, Game

async def generate_feeds():
    loader = FeedConfigLoader(Path("path/to/config.toml"))

    # all games in config
    all_configs = await loader.get_all_feed_configs()
    feed_collection = GameFeedCollection.from_configs(all_configs)
    await feed_collection.create_feeds()

    # only a single game
    genshin_config = await loader.get_feed_config(Game.GENSHIN)
    genshin_feed = GameFeed.from_config(genshin_config)
    await genshin_feed.create_feed()

Here you can find an example on how to create a feed without using the TOML config file.

Configuration

In the TOML config file you can define for which games you want to create a feed and in which format the feeds should be. Here is an example config:

language = "de-de"
category_size = 15

[genshin]
feed.json.path = "path/to/genshin.json"
feed.json.url = "https://example.org/genshin.json"
categories = ["Info", "Notices"]
category_size = 5
title = "Genshin Impact News"
icon = "https://example.org/icon.png"

[starrail]
feed.json.path = "path/to/starrail.json"
feed.json.url = "https://example.org/starrail.json"
feed.atom.path = "path/to/starrail.xml"
feed.atom.url = "https://example.org/starrail.xml"

A minimal configuration requires at least one game section with a feed.<format>.path entry. Available feed formats are currently json and atom. You can either use one format or both.

Entries defined at root level are considered default values and will apply to every game section. The feed key can only be used in a game section. All other keys can be defined at root level, and they can be overwritten by a game section.

The categories list defines the selected Hoyolab categories (Info, Event and Notices) for this feed. If this entry is omitted, all categories are selected. The category_size entry defines the amount of feed items (default: 5) of a category for each feed.

Note: When using Windows file paths (like C:\\path\to\config.toml), single quotes should be used to avoid wrong auto-escaping of backslashes. More info about the TOML format can be found in the official documentation.

Logging

Simple logs at level INFO are written to the terminal by default. If a file path is given via parameter (-l /path/to/out.log), the logs are written to this file.

If the application is run via code, the logger must be configured separately. The application specific logger is available by:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger("hoyolabrssfeeds")
