How can I process my newsblur feed with some sort of AI automation like make or n8n?

Anybody care to share their experience?

I’d be interested to hear folks using these next-gen OSS IFTTT alternatives. NewsBlur has an API you can use, but these apps don’t have an OAuth token, so you’ll either have to extract your cookie from your session, or create a self-serve OAuth app, which is not for the faint of heart.

I don’t use any AI as such but I have an n8n automation that periodically logs into NewsBlur and then uses that cookie to flush starred stories over to [Readwise Reader](https://readwise.io/read)

Reader supports RSS feeds but I use NewsBlur for low signal/high volume feeds while I only have a few high signal/low volume feeds in Reader directly.

Ideally, it would be made redundant by [Backend: Backend OAuth for send to services · Issue #811 · samuelclay/NewsBlur · GitHub](https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/issues/811) in future 🙂
