Aftonbladet RSS feed

chrs · December 27, 2023, 12:51am

I have tried getting a good looking rss feed via aftonbladet

Here is what I have ended up with after inspiration from various tips and tricks on this site.

first I had to edit the feedparser sensor.py file to be able to catch the img url in the enclosure tag.

# Check for the enclosure tag
                if "enclosures" in entry:
                    enclosure = entry["enclosures"][0]  # Assuming only one enclosure
                    entry_value["image"] = enclosure.get("url", "")

                if not entry_value.get("image"):
                    # If there's no enclosure, check for image in summary
                    images = []
                    if "summary" in entry:
                        images = re.findall(
                            r"<img.+?src=\"(.+?)\".+?>", entry["summary"]
                        )
                    if images:
                        entry_value["image"] = images[0]
                    else:
                        entry_value[
                            "image"
                        ] = "https://www.home-assistant.io/images/favicon-192x192-full.png"

to create the sensor.aftonbladet, I have this in my sensors.yaml (moved my sensors to a seperate file instead of the configuration.yaml)

# RSS feedparser
  - platform: feedparser
    name: aftonbladet
    feed_url: "https://rss.aftonbladet.se/rss2/small/pages/sections/senastenytt/"
    date_format: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
    local_time: true
    show_topn: 5
    inclusions:
      - title
      - published
      - summary
      - link
    exclusions:
      - id

and finally I use the custom:list-card.

  table * {

  .summary img {

  tr .title {

  tr .published {

  tr .summary {

  text-align: left;

  }

  tr .summary p:last-of-type {

Here’s another way to do it.

@chrs , thanks for sharing your code. This was exactly, what I’m looking for and already build it for one of my feeds . I have two feeds (“Süddeutsche” and “Auto News”). “Auto News” has provided the image only in enclosure, so the change in sensor.py made it to work. But, now the entity of my first feed “Süddeutsche” disappeared?! Do you have an idea? Here is my feedparser config:

# RSS Feeds
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Süddeutsche
    feed_url: 'https://rss.sueddeutsche.de/alles/'
    date_format: "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"
    local_time: true
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Auto News
    feed_url: 'https://www.stern.de/feed/standard/auto/'
    date_format: "%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"
    local_time: true
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3

@chrs , I changed the code a bit and the entity of both feeds are available again. But, now the “Auto News” feed cannot identify the right image and the HA.png is set. Unfortunately, I’m not a developer. Do you have an idea?

					# Check for the enclosure tag
                if "enclosures" in entry.keys():
                    enclosure = entry["enclosures"][0]  # Assuming only one enclosure
                    entry_value["image"] = enclosure.get("url", "")

                if not entry_value.get("image"):
                    # If there's no enclosure, check for image in summary
                    images = []
                    if "summary" in entry.keys():
                        images = re.findall(
                            r"<img.+?src=\"(.+?)\".+?>", entry["summary"]
                        )
                    if images:
                        entry_value["image"] = images[0]
                    else:
                        entry_value[
                            "image"
                        ] = "https://www.home-assistant.io/images/favicon-192x192-full.png"

looks correct, but im not a developer either. just a happy amateur.
my bet is that you need a fresh restart of the HA. if it doesnt work, try a private browser window. My feed gets weird sometimes also, but then I just reload my browser window.

feedparser have issues with collecting images, making my solution not working.

but if you change the sensor.py to this, it will start work again.
