This is a very simple way of getting authenticated RSS feeds in django, by slightly changing the django.contrib.syndication.views
1) copy django/contrib/syndication/views.py into mysite/feeds/views.py
2) replace the contents of that file with the snippet
3) any feeds which you require login just add them to the auth_required list. In this case I require login for /feeds/mystuff/ so I make auth_required = ['mystuff']
My directory structure is like this:
mysite/feeds/
views.py
feedmodels.py
feedmodels.py is just where you make your feed models (see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/syndication/ where they give an example of "LatestEntries")
[urls.py] - this is what I add in urls.py
from mysite.feeds.feedmodels import Latest,MyPersonalStuff
feeds = {
'latest':Latest,
'mystuff':MyPersonalStuff,
}
(r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'mysite.feeds.views.feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}),

from django.contrib.syndication import feeds
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, Http404
# Define which feeds require authentication
auth_required = ['mystuff']
def feed(request, url, feed_dict=None):
if not feed_dict:
raise Http404, "No feeds are registered."
try:
slug, param = url.split('/', 1)
except ValueError:
slug, param = url, ''
# Check if feed requires authentication
if slug in auth_required:
# Yes: check authentication
if request.user.is_authenticated():
try:
f = feed_dict[slug]
except KeyError:
raise Http404, "Slug %r isn't registered." % slug
try:
feedgen = f(slug, request).get_feed(param)
except feeds.FeedDoesNotExist:
raise Http404, "Invalid feed parameters. Slug %r is valid, but other parameters, or lack thereof, are not." % slug
response = HttpResponse(mimetype=feedgen.mime_type)
feedgen.write(response, 'utf-8')
return response
# No: redirect to login page
else:
# Redirect User to login page, and send them back to their feed after the provide their credentials
return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/login/?next=%s' % request.path)
# No authentication required
else:
try:
f = feed_dict[slug]
except KeyError:
raise Http404, "Slug %r isn't registered." % slug
try:
feedgen = f(slug, request).get_feed(param)
except feeds.FeedDoesNotExist:
raise Http404, "Invalid feed parameters. Slug %r is valid, but other parameters, or lack thereof, are not." % slug
response = HttpResponse(mimetype=feedgen.mime_type)
feedgen.write(response, 'utf-8')
return response
