Newsbeuter and Google Reader

22/08/2010

I love those apps that work from a shell in linux.

One of my favs is Newsbeuter.

To make it work with Google Reader you need to create config file in:

.newsbeuter/config

In that file add these lines:

urls-source “googlereader”

googlereader-login “USERNAME@gmail.com”

googlereader-password “PASSWORD”

My config so far:

urls-source “googlereader”
googlereader-login “USERNAME@gmail.com”
googlereader-password “PASWORD”
googlereader-show-special-feeds yes
show-read-feeds no
refresh-on-startup yes
notify-beep yes
notify-xterm yes
auto-reload yes
reload-time 120

To make it show up in Conky I added this to the config:

News:${alignr}${execpi 600 newsbeuter -x reload print-unread}
