DISCLAIMER:

This project is an independent, unofficial implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Drudge. It is provided for educational and experimental purposes only.

Please note that this implementation relies on parsing the website's current HTML DOM and the unofficial feedburner RSS feed. While the RSS feed seems like a relatively stable contract to integrate with, most of the content exists within an HTML DOM object in the feed. As a result, any modifications to the website’s structure may cause the implementation to break. Users should be aware of these limitations when using this module.

Example Usage:

How to access the parsed headlines from the client

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/mikegetz/godrudge"
)

func main() {
    client := godrudge.NewClient()
    err := client.ParseRSS()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error parsing", err)
    }

    client.PrintDrudge(true)

    //Access the first headline title from Column 1
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[0][0].Title)
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[0][0].Href)

    //Access the first headline title from Column 2
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[1][0].Title)
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[1][0].Href)

    //Access the first headline title from Column 3
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[2][0].Title)
    fmt.Println(client.Page.HeadlineColumns[2][0].Href)
}

Prints Drudge to stdout with ANSI links

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/mikegetz/godrudge"
)

func main() {
    client := godrudge.NewClient()
    err := client.ParseRSS()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error parsing", err)
    }

    // set to true to print without ANSI links
    client.PrintDrudge(false)
}
