# Find Penguins Feed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quick & dirty tool to turn [Find Penguins](https://findpenguins.com) footprints
|
||
|
|
into a rss feeds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no storage involved and every call to the feed builds it anew. Because
|
||
|
|
this is done by web-scraping, it should not be done too often, as you might get
|
||
|
|
rate limited or blocked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This was written to track a family member's journey without having to register
|
||
|
|
or madly refreshing the website all five minutes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It only needed to work for that specific journey but maybe someone else finds it
|
||
|
|
useful.

# Building
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) and run `cargo build --release`. This
|
||
|
|
gives you a binary `./target/release/findpenguins-feed>` which is directly
|
||
|
|
executable.
|
||
|

|
