Micro guide: NetNewsWire ❤️ FreshRSS setup #3731
Comments
Thanks so much, it saved me a lot of time! |
Hello, I'm +1ing the Note 2. I'm still struggling at the auth step doing exactly as said and still having this |
@Thoscellen My URL was https://FQDN/api/greader.php, without the rss in it, just the api in the URL |
Ah indeed. |
As an additional note you have to enable "Allow API access (required for mobile apps)" under "Authentication" in FreshRSS before "API management" shows up. |
Yes, I was able to make it work too. Apparently there is some sort of proxy on my computer that sometimes block my FreshRSS. IMO we still need some way to diagnose the failure of the connexion — could be logs, modal, more explicit messages, a section in the settings… |
Chiming in with what worked for me when setting up NetNewsWire (6.1.2 on macOS and iPadOS) with FreshRSS (1.21.0). This is the same as @mprimi's instructions, but there is an additional directory in the path to the API endpoint and I suspect some of the FreshRSS interface labels have changed.
Of course your path to FreshRSS will have to change if you have installed it in a subdirectory. |
@membranophonist For me the following format works : The sync appears to be working but when i check out the docker logs, I see the following warning message. Does anyone know why?
|
HUGE thank you to you all! This was a massive help, especially the instructions in #3731 (comment). |
Thank you for NetNewsWire, I've been a user for many years. Today, I came here to throw some moneys at you, and found out you do this out of love. Amazing. I don't know you but I love you.
I just setup NewsNetWire + FreshRSS.
I think I've tried before, but couldn't figure it out, and gave up.
But a comment on HN made me confident it does indeed exist and it works great.
I had to fiddle around a little. I'm reporting some feedback from the experience.
Also, I'm writing down the steps I wish I had found somewhere else documented.
Here's the 30-second version:
Assuming you have set up FreshRSS and you can login in the web UI
Open NetNewsWire > Preferences > Accounts > Add > FreshRSS
To sign in use:
username
same as the FreshRSS web UIAPI token
created in: FreshRSS web UI > Profile > API Managementhttps://example.com/api/greader.php
(try opening this in a browser, it should show something)Done.

This took some fiddling. Initially I tried all combinations of (
myuser
|myuser@mydomain
) x (password
) x (/api/
,/rss/
,/rss/api/greader.php
). None worked. Creating a new user, retried all combinations. Still not working. 😅Some extra notes for NNW
🌈 Note 1: It took me a while to find how to add a FreshRSS account to NNW.
Finally found it in settings>accounts>add
🌈 Note 2: Sign-in spits out a generic error message:
Network Error
.It seems to me like it's the same message for every kind of error:
This can be a red herring. A little more details in the error message would be helpful.
🌈 Note 3: FreshRSS API Token.
The FreshRSS user's password won't work for the API.
One has to go into FreshRSS Settings > Profile > API Access and create a new token.
It would be great to point users there, in some way.
Even just renaming the
Password
field toAPI token
field would maybe point people the right direction.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
