xml-to-discord-post

Scrapes XML feeds, e.g. BBC News searching for search terms, alerts in Discord, Twitter, or Bluesky. That's it.

Uses MongoDB (Atlas, cloud hosted mongo) to keep track of what's been posted already.

The following vars need to be defined in .env file

# database connection string for Atlas
db_string = "MONGO-ATLAS-CONNECTION-STRING"

# discord webhook URL
webhook_url = "DISCORD-WEBHOOK-URL"

For the rest of the available config values, see config.py
