This module is for downloading every mp3 file from a patreon rss feed.
It's currently in an alpha state and functions for my specific use case very well, and other use cases with a bit of force. The next update will offer a better options object to control various aspects to your liking. Right now, it will just download every audio/mpeg type file in the rss feed to the current directory.
You'll need to get your individual rss link from the patreon campaign's website (patreon.com -> sidebar under 'Memberships' -> individual campaign -> Membership tab -> quick links -> 'Listen on other podcast apps')
import getRssItems from 'patreon-mp3-downloader';const items = await getRssItems('https://www.patreon.com/rss/PATREONCAMPAIGN?auth=PATREON_PROVIDED_AUTH_TOKEN_STRING');// this will be an array of Item objects, that has a title and a url// as well as a download() method that you can use to trigger the download of// an individual file.console.log(items);// since you have an array of objects that each contains it's own download method,// you are free to download them as you like.// download the latest item in the rss feed:await items[0].download();// download each item in sequence, starting with the latest, prepending a number to the file name:let counter = items.length;for (const item of items) {console.log(`downloading ${counter} - ${item.fileName}`);await item.download(`${counter} - `);counter--;}// download every item in the feed at once (do not recommend for larger feeds):await Promise.all(items.map(i => await i.download()))// you could also chunk the array with lodash, and Promise.all each chunk:import _ from 'lodash';const chunks = _.chunk(items, 5);for (const chunk of chunks) {await Promise.all(chunk.map(i => await i.download()));}Again, a more user-friendly interface with the above methods built in is coming in the next update.
