8th Side RSS Feed Generator

This project fetches event data from a Wizards of the Coast store page and generates an RSS feed.

Setup

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On macOS/Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate

   • On Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install Playwright browsers:

   python -m playwright install

Usage

Run the basic script to generate the RSS feed:

python feedgen-new.py

Or run the Playwright version which can handle JavaScript-rendered content:

python feedgen-playwright.py

Command Line Options

• --debug: Enable debug output with detailed information about the scraping process

  python feedgen-playwright.py --debug

Event Filtering

The script automatically filters out:

• Events outside the next 30 days
• MTG casual play events

Both scripts will create a feed.rss file in the project directory.

Automated Setup

You can also use the setup script:

python setup.py

This will create and activate the virtual environment and install all dependencies.
