Generate an rss feed for an AniList users activity.
This is an unofficial Python script that uses the public AniList API to generate an RSS feed for a users anime and manga activity.
Below is an abridged example of file that the script generates for the AniList user PeskyPotato. The full live file can be found on my website.

</rss>The repository also contains a GitHub Action workflow that will generate the file on each push and daily at 08:00UTC. The workflow also deploys the file via SSH to a remote host. This is currently what I use to host my file, but can be omitted or modified to your use. The Python script can work on it's own to generate the RSS file.
The script requires Python 3. Using pip install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Set the username and and URL to the website for the feed as environment variables. On Linux or macOS this can be done like so:
export USERNAME=PeskyPotato
export LINK=https://pesky.moe/feeds/Run the script:
python script.py
The XML file will be created in the feeds/ directory. It will contain the 10 latest activities using the medias romaji title.
