API

rsslay exposes an API to work with it programmatically, so you can automate feed creation and retrieval. Checkout the wiki entry for further info.

Mirroring events ("replaying")

Actually rsslay makes usage of a method named AttemptReplayEvents which is made to send the events to other relays of confidence to attempt to make the events and the profile more reachable (they are just mirror relays)...

Currently used relays:

  • wss://relay.nostrgraph.net
  • wss://e.nos.lol
  • wss://nos.lol
  • wss://nostr.mom
  • wss://relay.nostr.band
  • wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com

This is needed nowadays, with further improvements in relays implementations or clients it may not be needed in the future.

Maybe in the future with other implementations we can avoid that, but nowadays its needed.

Feeds from Twitter via Nitter instances

The Nitter project is well integrated into rsslay and it performs special handling of this kind of feeds. Currently rsslay is doing the following with Nitter feeds:

  • Upgrading to https all instances that may be misconfigured.
  • Format some responses and retweets in a more "user-friendly" way.
  • As there are many instances available out there, if one is unreachable at the moment of parsing, a pool of instances is used (configurable):

Running the project

Running rsslay its easy, checkout the wiki entry for it.

Deploying your instance

If you want to run your own instance, you are covered! Several options (including "one-click" ones) are available. Checkout the wiki.
