const options = {
  setPresence: true,
  // Config format is same as config.json
  config: {
    bot: {
      token: "abc123"
    }
  }
}
​
const drss = new MonitoRSS.ClientManager(options)

npm install monitorss
const Feed = require('monitorss').Feed
​
async function myfunc() {
    await MonitoRSS.setupModels(mongoURI, mongoOptions)
    // Do what you want with Feed now
}
