Is it possible to get a RSS feed of a reddit with links to posts with X upvotes?

I created a subreddit that I am connecting to a twitter account via twitterfeed.

Currently I have it pointed to this RSS feed.

I would like to filter this RSS feed with posts that have X upvotes such that only the good posts reach the Twitter account. Is there a way to do this? via API or otherwise?

Maybe you need to scrape the page and generate your own RSS feed. That should be a simple job for a scraper.

Ignore the RSS feed.

Use this.. http://code.reddit.com/wiki/API

Use the url with a .json appended to whatever category you are interested in.

Note the score property. There is no way to send over a query but you can simply ignore those that don't have the score you are looking for.

Well I could use the json to filter posts with score > X. But it still ultimately needs to be an RSS feed that never has duplicates. So once a post has hit score X it is added to the RSS feed.

You would have to add a persistance layer to your solution to keep track of what's been posted and then generate your own RSS feed. It wouldn't be that difficult.

Yahoo Pipes is amazing for feed things like this.

This should do what you want (and if it doesn't, you can easily tweak it; Pipes is pretty easy): http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=16d40aa3cb2958bd814ee8ced0f62538
