syndicationd maintains state (such as subscribed feeds) on the backend, and therefore requires authentication to make requests.
Currently, GitHub and Google are supported. The only scope syndicationd requires is user:email(Github) or email(Google) to read the user's email. the user's email is used only as an identifier after being hashed and never stored.

for more details, refer to keymap/default.rs

To export subscribed feeds, execute the synd export command.
You can check the JSON schema of the data to be exported with synd export --print-schema

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "title": "Export",
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "feeds"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "feeds": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "$ref": "#/definitions/ExportedFeed"
      }
    }
  },
  "definitions": {
    "ExportedFeed": {
      "type": "object",
      "required": [
        "url"
      ],
      "properties": {
        "title": {
          "type": [
            "string",
            "null"
          ]
        },
        "url": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The log file path is based on ProjectDirs::data_dir().
Please refer to the --log flag in synd --help for the default output destination.

You can modify the log directives using the environment variable SYND_LOG. (for example, SYND_LOG=synd=debug)

The theme can be changed using the --theme flag. Please refer to the help for the values that can be specified.

By default, use https://api.syndicationd.ymgyt.io as the backend api(hosted on my home Raspberry Pi).
To change the endpoint, specify the --endpoint flag

The hosted api is instrumented with OpenTelemetry. Basic signals(traces,metrics,logs) are published on the Grafana dashboard

Authentication credentials are cached. to remove them, execute synd clear.

synd check [--format (human|json)] return current application status.
