Hi,
I’m having trouble importing starred news items from a JSON file. The News app does not generate any errors but neither does it import the articles. It seems to do nothing.
I’ve migrated my news feeds from Feedly to Disroot using OPML. This worked fine. After some effort to export my starred/saved-for-later items from feedly, I have a (supposedly) JSON file that should be able to be imported.
I cannot find any documentation about the JSON file that the News app is expecting, so have no way of knowing whether my JSON file format is correct. The first three items in the file are shown below as an example:
[
{
"title": "Create or document?",
"url": "https://blog.mingthein.com/2018/02/18/create-or-document/",
"time": " Sun, 18 Feb 2018 04:00:18 GMT"
},
{
"title": "Watch the Making of the Dymaxion Globe: A 3-D Rendering of Buckminster Fuller’s Revolutionary Map",
"url": "http://www.openculture.com/2018/01/watch-the-making-of-the-dymaxion-globe-a-3-d-rendering-of-buckminster-fullers-revolutionary-map.html",
"time": " Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:54:33 GMT"
},
{
"title": "A French robot named Jojo makes plotter portraits",
"url": "https://boingboing.net/2017/12/13/a-french-robot-named-jojo-make.html",
"time": " Thu, 14 Dec 2017 00:33:00 GMT"
}
]
Is the import problem caused by my file being in the wrong format, or is there another reason? If the JSON file format is wrong, what is the correct format?
Thanks for your help.
PS These are the instructions that actually worked and generated the JSON file.
