RSS to JSON is a simple tool for converting RSS feeds into JSON format. It returns the RSS feed in JSON format.
This is a Python API Wrapper for the RSS to JSON API
Using pip:
pip install apiverve-rsstojsonUsing pip3:
pip3 install apiverve-rsstojsonBefore using the rsstojson API client, you have to setup your account and obtain your API Key. You can get it by signing up at https://apiverve.com
Here's a simple example to get you started quickly:
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient
# Initialize the client with your APIVerve API key
api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
try:
# Make the API call
result = api.execute(query)
# Print the result
print(result)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")The RSS to JSON API documentation is found here: https://docs.apiverve.com/ref/rsstojson. You can find parameters, example responses, and status codes documented here.
# Import the client module
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient
# Initialize the client with your APIVerve API key
api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")Using the API client, you can perform requests to the API.
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }# Make a request to the API
result = api.execute(query)
# Print the result
print(result){

"description": "Before Apollo astronauts set foot upon the Moon, much remained unknown about the lunar surface. While most scientists believed the Moon had a solid surface that would support astronauts and their landing craft, a few believed a deep layer of dust covered it that would swallow any visitors. Until 1964, no closeup photographs of the […]",

}The API client provides comprehensive error handling through the RsstojsonAPIClientError exception. Here are some examples:
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient, RsstojsonAPIClientError
api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
try:
result = api.execute(query)
print("Success!")
print(result)
except RsstojsonAPIClientError as e:
print(f"API Error: {e.message}")

api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
try:
result = api.execute(query)
# Check for successful response
if result.get('status') == 'success':
print("Request successful!")
print(result.get('data'))
else:
print(f"API returned an error: {result.get('error')}")
except RsstojsonAPIClientError as e:
# Handle API client errors
if e.status_code == 401:

elif e.status_code == 429:

print("Server error - please try again later")
else:
print(f"API error: {e.message}")
except Exception as e:
# Handle unexpected errors
print(f"Unexpected error: {str(e)}")The client supports the context manager protocol for automatic resource cleanup:
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient, RsstojsonAPIClientError
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
# Using context manager ensures proper cleanup
with RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]") as api:
try:
result = api.execute(query)
print(result)
except RsstojsonAPIClientError as e:
print(f"Error: {e.message}")
# Session is automatically closed hereEnable debug logging to see detailed request and response information:
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient
# Enable debug mode
api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]", debug=True)
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
# Debug information will be printed to console
result = api.execute(query)If you need to manually manage the session lifecycle:
from apiverve_rsstojson.apiClient import RsstojsonAPIClient
api = RsstojsonAPIClient("[YOUR_API_KEY]")
query = { "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" }
