Research direction

Read docs/ADDING_APPS.md, then open the gitea definition in src/catalog/apps/batch-19.js as the url-field pattern to copy. Check the Miniflux API docs for the /v1 base URL, the X-Auth-Token header and GET /me, and add the definition to the most fitting file in src/catalog/apps/. Done when npm run validate and npm test pass, npm run logos -- miniflux produces the logo, and the help text walks users to the API key in numbered steps.

Description

app request good first issue help wanted self-hosted app

Add Miniflux to the catalog. It's a popular self-hosted app and a good first contribution: Conector already supports apps on your own server through a url field.

API documentation: https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html

What we know so far (check it against the docs before relying on it):

  • Base URL: {url}/v1, where {url} is a field with format: "url" (see the gitea app in src/catalog/apps/batch-19.js for an example).
  • Authentication: An API key (Settings → API Keys), sent in the X-Auth-Token header.
  • Connection test: GET /me returns the user.
  • What agents could do with it: Read unread entries, star them, and add or refresh feeds.

How to add it

  1. Follow docs/ADDING_APPS.md: add the definition to the most fitting file in src/catalog/apps/, with help text that leads people to the key in a few numbered steps.
  2. Run npm run validate and npm test, and generate the logo with npm run logos -- <app id>.
  3. If you run Miniflux yourself, connect it in a local Conector and try a couple of requests from your agent. Say in the pull request what you tested.
