Link RSS reader to Nextcloud News

Hello everyone,

I'd like to link thunderbird RSS reader to the Nextcloud's News Plugin ( https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/news ) on a personal instance.

This plugin provide a requestable REST API ( https://github.com/nextcloud/news/blob/master/docs/externalapi/Legacy.md ) which let me get the feed, but it's protected by credentials (which should be in the HTTP header) and Thunderbird doesn't provide the possibility to feel it (I think this feature could be great for accessible many private RSS feeds).

Also, I would like to know if it would be possible to synchronize my Thunderbird feed with the Nextcloud's one. The API provide the ability to update what has been read or not, so it'll let me read only the unread messages through Thunderbird, my web instance, my smartphone application, all synchronized on my NC instance.

Thanks all in advance for your help,

PS : I did open an issue on the plugin related to this question : https://github.com/nextcloud/news/issues/718#issuecomment-642411057

Thunderbird is an RSS feed reader, you give it an RSS feed and it displays the content. So does next cloud offer an RSS feed?

The problem is that Thunderbird doesn't provide a way to send credentials when adding an RSS feed :/

normally with HTTP: and RSS is part of HTTP:/HTTPS: Credentials are sent as a part of the URL, or the feed prompts for credentials. There is some discussion on the subject here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2100979/how-to-authenticate-an-rss-feed
