Montgomery County PA DPS Feed​

montcopadps Montgomery County PA DPS Feed @ montcopadps

This feed runs as a crontab job every five minutes using the edsu/feediverse as a base project.

After adding a list of Montgomery County townships and localities that match the fire feed, I added those and tags to #MontCoPa for rapid access to local events. That commit is here:

Add Montgomery County PA town detection for tagging · vees/feediverse@8969fee

Then I set up the base parameters in .feediverse and a link to my local instance, as follows:

feeds:
- include_images: true
  template: '{title} at {summary} {hashtags} #MontCoPA'
  url: https://webapp07.montcopa.org/eoc/cadinfo/livecadrss.asp
name: feediverse
updated: '2024-08-31T18:15:03+00:00'
url: epistolary.org

And use the following options:

feediverse.py --dedupe summary --delay

Since the articles in this feed have no URL and are only different by the summary text.
