83 | cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
84 | or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85 | or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86 | granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87 | as of the date such litigation is filed.
88 |
89 | 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90 | Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
91 | modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
92 | meet the following conditions:
93 |
94 | (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
95 | Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96 |
97 | (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98 | stating that You changed the files; and
99 |
100 | (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101 | that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and

103 | excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104 | the Derivative Works; and
105 |
106 | (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107 | distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108 | include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109 | within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110 | pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111 | of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112 | as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113 | documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114 | within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115 | wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116 | of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117 | do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118 | notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119 | or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120 | that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121 | as modifying the License.
122 |
123 | You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124 | may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125 | for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126 | for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127 | reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128 | the conditions stated in this License.
129 |
130 | 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131 | any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132 | by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133 | this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134 | Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135 | the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136 | with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137 |
138 | 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139 | names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140 | except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141 | origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142 |
143 | 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144 | agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145 | Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146 | WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147 | implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148 | of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149 | PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150 | appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151 | risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152 |
153 | 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154 | whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155 | unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156 | negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157 | liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158 | incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159 | result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160 | Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161 | work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162 | other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163 | has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164 |
165 | 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166 | the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167 | and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168 | or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169 | License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170 | on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171 | of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172 | defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173 | incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174 | of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
175 |

1 | ## apple-technotes-scrape.py
2 |
3 | In early 2022 Apple launched [a new technotes site](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Technotes). It's updated regularly, but does not have a feed. This script scrapes the JSON metadata for the catalog and generates a feed for it. Publication dates for the technotes are inferred based on the first time that a given note is seen.
4 |
5 | The scraped feed is published at [https://persistent.info/scraped/apple-technotes.xml](https://persistent.info/scraped/apple-technotes.xml).
6 |
7 | ## gocomics-scrape.py
8 |
9 | GoComics.com (which recently merged with Comics.com) has stopped linking to or updating their RSS feeds.
10 |
11 | This script fetches a GoComics.com strip homepage, generates strip URLs and then for each one looks up the the actual comic image and outputs a minimal Atom feed with the image. Sample usage:
12 |
13 | python gocomics-scrape.py frazz > ~/www/scraped/frazz.xml
14 |
15 | I've put something like that in a cron job that runs once an hour.
16 |
17 | Incidentally, Frazz and Calvin and Hobbes are the comics that I wanted this for, so if you're looking for a full content feeds for them they can be found at [https://persistent.info/scraped/frazz.xml](https://persistent.info/scraped/frazz.xml) and [https://persistent.info/scraped/calvinandhobbes.xml](https://persistent.info/scraped/calvinandhobbes.xml).
18 |
19 | ## daily-puppy-scrape.py
20 |
21 | [The Daily Puppy](http://www.dailypuppy.com/) ostensibly [has an RSS feed](http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDailyPuppy). However, it has not worked since early January 2014 (the contents are empty). Given that the site also has references to iGoogle ([shut down](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2664197?hl=en) on November 1, 2013), it doesn't seem like it's being maintained from a technical perspective. This script scrapes the most recent 10 puppies and generates a (full-content) feed for them (it uses the same XML endpoints as the [the iOS app](https://itunes.apple.com/app/id305199217)).
22 |
23 | The result is placed at [http://persistent.info/scraped/daily-puppy.xml](http://persistent.info/scraped/daily-puppy.xml). If the site fixes its offical feed, I will redirect this URL back to the official feed.
