Help needed with CloudQuery and generic RSS feed structures

Has anyone done anything with CloudQuery and generic RSS feeds? I suspect it’d be straightforward, but the dynamic nature of various RSS structures might be weird.

Interesting idea @handy-bee. You’re more than welcome to open a new source plugin request for it here. If it gets a bunch of upvotes, we’ll know people are interested in it.

@handy-bee Just out of interest, how would you use CloudQuery (CQ) with an RSS feed? What kind of RSS feed would that be?

I would assume you would give the CQ RSS plugin a list of RSS feed links (e.g. https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml) and each one will be a table in the destination. The plugin will read the feeds, try to dynamically assign types to the data and create tables based on that.

Exactly! There are a few useful feeds for cloud infrastructure that I’d find the capability useful for. Never made an issue on GitHub though :upside_down_face:

Yep, I was interested in learning whether this is for news or if you have some auto-generated feed of events using the RSS format. It would help me understand your specific use case better :slightly_smiling_face:
