*hugobot* is a bot that automates the fetching and
aggregation of content for [Hugo][hugo] data-driven
websites. It has the following features:
## Data fetch
- Use the `feeds` table to register feeds that will periodically get fetched, stored
and exported into the hugo project.
- Currently handles these types of feeds: `RSS`, `Github Releases`, `Newsletters`
- Define your own feed types by implementing the `JobHandler` interface (see
`handlers/handlers.go`).
- Hugobot automatically fetches new posts from the registered.
- Sqlite is used for storage. `feeds` and `posts` tables.
- The scheduler can handle any number of tasks and uses leveldb for
caching/resuming jobs.
- Use the `feeds` table to register feeds that will be fetched periodically.
- Currently, it can handle these types of feeds: `RSS`, `Github Releases`, `Newsletters`
- To define your own feed types, implement the `JobHandler` interface (see `handlers/handlers.go`).
- Hugobot automatically fetches new posts from the registered feeds.
- The database uses Sqlite for storage. It has `feeds` and `posts` tables.
- The scheduler can handle an unlimited number of tasks and uses leveldb for caching and resuming jobs.
## Hugo export
- Data is automatically exported to the configured Hugo website path.
- It can export `markdown` files or `json/toml` data files.
- All fields in the exported files can be customized.
- It can export data as `markdown` files or `json/toml` data files.
- You can customize all fields in the exported files.
- You can define custom output formats by using the `FormatHandler` interface.
- You can register custom filters and post processing on exported posts to avoid
changing the raw data stored in the db.
- You can register custom filters and post-processing for exported posts to prevent altering the raw data stored in the database.
- You can force data export using the CLI.
## API
- Uses `gin-gonic`.
- *hugobot* also includes a webserver API that can be used with Hugo [Data
Driven Mode][data-driven].
- Insert and query data from the db. This is still a WIP, you can easily
add the missing code on the API side to automate adding/querying data
from the DB.
- An example usage is the automated generation of Bitcoin addresses for new
articles on [bitcointechweekly.com][btw-btc]
- It uses `gin-gonic` as the web framework.
- *hugobot* also includes a webserver API that can be used with Hugo [Data Driven Mode][data-driven].
- You can insert and query data from the database. This feature is still a work in progress, but you can easily add the missing code on the API side to automate inserting and querying data from the database.
- For example, it can be used to automate the generation of Bitcoin addresses for new articles on [bitcointechweekly.com][btw-btc].
