jsonfeed
Generate JSON Feeds for a Nikola blog.
To install, run nikola plugin -i jsonfeed
An implementation of the JSON Feed specification (version 1).
Supported:
- archives (
/archives/2017/feed.json— only if archives are indexes) - blog index (
/feed.json) - author pages (
/authors/john-doe-feed.json) - categories (
/categories/cat_foo-feed.json) - sections (
/section/feed.json) - tags (
/categories/bar-feed.json)
Unsupported:
- galleries (requires some changes to Nikola core)
This should work with new enough versions of Nikola, but automatic feed link
injection (JSONFEED_APPEND_LINKS = True in config, on by default) is buggy
with Nikola v7.8.5 or older (fixed in commit bf1b20c + PR #2789).
