[scribus] Get articles content online

[niilos]

Hello !

Thank you for all your responses ! I will explain more precisely what I’m
trying to do.
- I only want to get the text content from my API.
- It would be great to allow authentification to the API (not mandatory)
- I will create a text frame in scribus, select the style associated and
  specify an URL to query the content from.
- I’d like to allow a "refresh". If the URL is replaced by the actual
  content, it is lost and the content can’t be loaded again (after a
  change for instance) !

I will learn to use the scribus python API. Would it be posible to set
a "source" attribute that contain the remote content URL ? Plus a script
that replace the content of all object that have a "source" attribute ?

I never used such API. If you think it is doable this way, I will try to
implement it !

Regards,
Niilos.
