Awasu Forums

Can you run (as a plugin) the sample scripts that come with Awasu? If not, the .py extension needs to be associated with your python.exe i.e. if you double-click on a .py file in Windows Explorer, Python should start. If this is setup correctly (and it looks like it is), it looks like you may have s...

You need to look at the XML and determine the exact nature of the error, but yes, it's probably an encoding issue :-) You have to encode your XML using something , and unless you have a reason to choose something else, UTF8 is probably the best choice. Don't forget to declare what encoding you're us...

new = an item has been received since you last opened the channel (i.e. when you open the channel, items will go from "new" to "unread") read = you have clicked on an item's link unread = you have not clicked on an item's link Note that you can control an item's read/unread status (right-click in th...

It should work, give it a go :) For a quick test, you can save the generated output to a file, then create a channel that "subscribes" to that file (choose "Read from a file" in the Channel Wizard). You don't even have to create a channel, just go to the second page of the Channel Wizard, click on "...

You have to send an HTTP POST request; if you embed the parameters in the URL, it will be sent as an HTTP GET . For example: import urllib.request data = b"""<channelReport> <name> My New Report </name> <dataSource type="channelFilter"> <channelFilterName> All </channelFilterName> </dataSource> </ch...

Give this a go: { {%REPEAT% Channels-IfGroupingItems insert=","} "{%CHANNEL-METADATA% name}": [ {%REPEAT% FeedItems insert=","} { "id": "{%ITEM-METADATA% AwasuId}", "title": "{%ITEM-METADATA% name!}", "published": "{%ITEM-METADATA% timestamp}", "url": "{%ITEM-METADATA% url}", "state": "{%ITEM-STATE%...

Error 1 . if title has ' " ' fx. The template parameter needs to be quoted in the template i.e. "title": "{%ITEM-METADATA% name!}", If the substituted value has quotes, Awasu will escape them for you. Note that the template output file must have a .JSON extension, so that Awasu knows it's generatin...

{%REPEAT%} has a parameter that lets you insert a string between each repeated item (precisely for this reason

) e.g. {%REPEAT% FeedItems insert=","} will insert the comma in-between each feed item, but not after the last one.

Your sugestion about DataRAM is versy intersting. I'll think about it. If you use the DataRAM feature to save the contents of the RAM disk to a file, make sure Awasu is not running when you do it. Otherwise, you might save files while Awasu is updating them i.e. they will be saved to disk in an inc...

Why [not]one API call? Because Awasu has been written over a period of many years, and things that might make sense now maybe didn't back then :-) The idea was always to let information be extracted out of Awasu based on content , not on structure e.g. "what stories are there about subject X within...

There are several ways you can get this information, depending on exactly what you want, and how you want to do it. Reports can return content in any format, including JSON and XML (e.g. see MetaChannel.template ), so you could create a report that includes the channels you want. This would be reall...

BTW, this can get complicated, since reports can be configured to use channels in a folder (and only that folder), or channels in a folder or any sub-folder. I would build 2 dictionaries, one that records what folders each channel is in, and another one that records all the parent folders of those f...

First, get the Awasu folders using either $/channels/folders/list (flat structure) or $/channels/folders/tree (tree structure). To find out what folders a channel is in, call $/channels/list , with a verbose=1 parameter. Awasu will then return all the information about each channel, including what f...

I've sent you a new build, and $/feedItems/get will now return each item's state (new|unread|read).

This API call can take multiple item ID's (comma-separated), and it will be much quicker to do them all in one go, rather than calling the API for each individual item.

I wrote up a tutorial on how character sets and encoding work here.
