Twitter RSS feeds - fetch full articles?

Tiny Tiny RSS Development

Hello,

Would it be possible to develop a plugin for TT-RSS that 1. converts a Twitter feed into an RSS feed and that 2. fetches the complete article behind the shortened URL (similar to af_readability)?

For all the websites that don’t offer RSS but “only” Twitter, I have subscribed to feeds created with TwitRSS.me - this service works fine but, of course, I would love to have complete articles, and I don’t want to rely on a third-party service…

(I am revisiting a question that has already been discussed in the old forum: https://tt-rss.org/oldforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2229 .)

Thanks in advance!

There’s a self hosted service for such stuff GitHub - RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge: The RSS feed for websites missing it there you could implement a full article fetching.

there’s also this but no readability (could be easily added i guess)

Also this.

Is this a plugin? Should I clone it into the plugins directory?

Thank you!!

I didn’t knew about this.

You need it to be accessible from your web server, like any other page. host/path/filename.php?user=username to pull the posts from @username.

“RSS-Bridge” seems to be a great self-hosted solution - thank you so much! Do you know if full article fetching already exists for this service? Where can I activate it for Twitter?

if you only need Twitter the solution fox suggested

should be easier to modify to provide “readability”

I suggest looking at Fox’ code and at the readability plugin and merge them somehow :wink: , as I think twitter users should use twitter as intended, I don’t see me putting effort in thinking about this functionality, sorry.
But maybe others are interested too, so if you succeed feel free to post your solution here.
