NHK News Web Easy is a pretty great little resource, but since I do most of my article reading on my Kobo, I like to use IFTTT to send RSS items through to my Pocket account for reading on that device automatically. I just open my Pocket articles on there when I have some reading time available.

It'd be great if I could have NHK News Web Easy work with that, but there's no RSS I can find.

I had a look at using a feed generator like feed43 or whatever it's called, but it just reads the page source, which doesn't include the necessary elements as they're generated by JS stuff on the fly I guess.

Anybody have any ideas on what I can do or had success generating one?

How a news site can neglect RSS so utterly is surprising. Even the main NHK doesn't have RSS that I can find.

Edit: I did eventually manage to find a feed for the main site, but still none for Easy, so the struggle continues.

I started a project myself to generate a feed: https://github.com/JMoravec/NHKEasyRSS and it worked mostly, but for some reason it wasn't pulling all the text of the article correctly, so it mostly became a reminder/link to the article. I stopped working on it since I felt that NHK Easy was getting too easy for my level and wanted to work on the normal site articles. Feel free to use the code however, though.

Awesome, thanks man. Did you notice any patterns in characters it dropped the ball on?

Is that an RSS feed of the subreddit? I can't check it because ColdTurkey is blocking Reddit atm. Either way cheers, I'll give it a look as an option.

Nothing I really remember. I'd probably do better now that I have more programming experience, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
