Bringing Back RSS Feeds to the SAP Community

This tool brings back the ability to easily follow managed tags like "ABAP Development" and receive all the blog posts associated with that tag, or to follow individual contributors via RSS. The key advantage is that it doesn't rely on pre-generated feeds - instead, you can customize and generate your own feed with precision.

Features

Customize your RSS feeds by various parameters
Follow specific tags, authors, or content types
Include or exclude replies in your feeds
Swagger documentation available at /api-docs
Automatic deployment ensures the latest updates are always live

Examples of Usage

Follow the "ABAP Development" tag (blog posts only, no replies)

https://rss-scn.marianzeis.de/api/messages?conversation.style=blog&managedTag.title=ABAP%20Development&feeds.replies=false

Include replies/comments in your feed

https://rss-scn.marianzeis.de/api/messages?conversation.style=blog&managedTag.title=ABAP%20Development&feeds.replies=true

Follow Q&A instead of blogs

https://rss-scn.marianzeis.de/api/messages?conversation.style=qanda&managedTag.title=ABAP%20Development&feeds.replies=false

Follow specific contributors

https://rss-scn.marianzeis.de/api/messages?author.id=53

Using the Swagger Interface

To make it even easier, there's a Swagger interface where you can interactively build your query without worrying about the exact URL syntax. In the Swagger UI, you'll find a form where you can input your desired parameters, see the exact URL to use, and even test the API directly from the browser.

Creating an OPML File from Your SAP Community Following

If you want to import all the people you follow on SAP Community into your RSS reader, there's a script available that generates an OPML file—a format supported by most RSS readers for bulk import of feeds.

You can find the script and instructions in the GitHub repository.

How It Works

The SAP Community platform provides an API that allows access to its content. This RSS server acts as a bridge between this API and your RSS reader. When you make a request with specific parameters, it fetches the relevant content from the SAP Community API, formats it into an RSS feed, and serves it back to you.

You don't need to be familiar with programming to use it. Just construct the URL with the parameters you want, and your RSS reader will handle the rest.
