Hi,

I've been using Calibre for a few years and have also used the recipe function to download news every day. Most of the recipes I use are slightly modified and based on RSS feeds.

I'm currently stumped trying to add a few articles from a HTML page to a previously populated feed. I have looked at the example here of how to add articles and I have also looked at several existing recipes.

What I am doing is as follows:

1. Use a standard RSS feed definition:

   feeds = [ ('Long Reads', 'https://longreads.com/feed/'), ]

   (There are in fact several other RSS feeds here, for clarity I am showing only the relevant one)
   
2. I have created a parse_feeds function that first runs the base parse_feeds function, then loops through all the feedss/articles to checks for one particular page which is updated weekly (5 best long reads)
   
3. It then extracts the links on this page and tries to append them to the feeds list. The code is as follows:
   
   

    
       def parse_feeds(self):
       feeds = super(LongReads, self).parse_feeds()
   
       for articles in feeds:
         section = articles.title
         for article in articles:
           if article.url and 'longreads.com' in article.url:
             raw = browser().open_novisit(article.url).read()
             soup = BeautifulSoup(raw)
             newArticles = []
             for item in soup.findAll('a', attrs={'target': '_blank'}):
               if item.parent.name == 'h3':
                 newArt = {}
                 newArt['title'] = item.string
                 newArt['url'] = item['href']
                 newArticles.append(newArt)          
             feeds.append((section, newArticles))
       return feeds

4. An example of the page being downloaded can be seen here: https://longreads.com/2023/04/21/the...-the-week-462/
   

The links are extracted correctly, the issue is that I always get the error 'tuple' object has no attribute 'title'. The example I base it on is obviously old, but I also see several newer recipies where it works to use the append function for the feed.

Outputting the feeds array shows this (excerpt), so obviously the links are added incorrectly:

I have also tried to create an array of Feed objects, when I use the append function it then complains that 'Feed' object has no attribute 'articles'.'

Grateful for any help with this, there is obviously something simple that I cannot see...
