Feed Notifier

This Ruby script checks a group of RSS/podcast feeds, and checks if it has been updated since the last check. If it has been updated, it will push a notification to Parse. It saves the last update date and time to the last_update.yml file. To setup the script:

1. Rename parse.sample.yml to parse.yml in the settings folder.

2. Add your Parse settings to the parse.yml file.

3. Rename feeds.sample.yml to feeds.yml in the settings folder.

4. Add your feeds to the feeds.yml file. The keys MUST be unique, because we use it to reference the last updated date and time.

5. Rename last_update.sample.yml to last_update.yml in the settings folder.

6. Add keys for each feed, and a starting date to the last_update.yml similar to the examples in the file.

To run the script, just run the following command in your command line utility:

ruby feed_notifier.rb
