summary: Subscribe to Atom and RSS feeds over pubsub

---

# Introduction

This module allows Prosody to fetch Atom and RSS feeds for you, and push

new results to subscribers over XMPP.

# Configuration

This module needs to be be loaded together with

[mod\_pubsub][doc:modules:mod\_pubsub].

For example, this is how you could add it to an existing pubsub

component:

``` lua

Component "pubsub.example.com" "pubsub"

modules_enabled = { "pubsub_feeds" }

feeds = {

  -- The part before = is used as PubSub node

  planet_jabber = "http://planet.jabber.org/atom.xml";

  prosody_blog = "http://blog.prosody.im/feed/atom.xml";

}

```

This example creates two nodes, 'planet\_jabber' and 'prosody\_blog'

that clients can subscribe to using

[XEP-0060](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html). Results are in

[ATOM 1.0 format](http://atomenabled.org/) for easy consumption.

# PubSubHubbub

This module also implements a

[PubSubHubbub](http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pubsubhubbub-core-0.3.html)

subscriber. This allows feeds that have an associated "hub" to push

updates when they are published.

Not all feeds support this.

It needs to expose a HTTP callback endpoint to work.
