In this article we are going to show you
how to convert the content of a Twitter account into an RSS feed
, so we can get the
latest news from a Twitter account in the RSS reader
. Keeping up with the latest news can be a difficult and even too heavy task, that's why we have the wonderful RSS feeds, with which we can get the latest news from almost any media, website or blog.
Before moving forward tell you that any RSS reader will help you to perform this technique. Advanced users who have already put into practice our tutorial on
how to install Tiny Tiny RSS in Ubuntu
, this method will come as a pearl.
How to get the news of a Twitter account in the RSS reader simply and quickly.
The method is very simple, first we need the name of the Twitter account from which we want to extract its contents as RSS. For this example I will use the
Twitter account of Vozidea.com
, whose name is how it could not be otherwise is
Vozidea
.
Now we go to the website
https://twitrss.me
, where we see that they ask us to enter a Twitter username to get the RSS feed of their tweets. We have to pay attention to the
“with replies” box
, which we must check if we want to include the messages to reply to the tweets in the feed.
The last step is to press the
"Fetch RSS" button
and the feed will be created immediately
containing the last 19 tweets of the chosen user
. The URL that is generated in our example and that we have to use in our RSS reader is:
https://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=Vozidea
What can this technique do for me?
Although there are countless Twitter clients with whom to be aware of the events published on this social network, if we use RSS to get news from other websites, why not also use it on Twitter and
have everything centralized in the same reader RSS
Another very useful example is when a website does not have its own feed system, but it does publish all its news and updates on Twitter. With this simple method we can follow it closely without missing any news.
Finally, remind you that here on
Vozidea.com
we have a feed that you can add to your RSS reader and you can find it in
this URL
.
