Find RSS Skill

Discover RSS and Atom feeds for websites to enable news aggregation and content monitoring.

Quick Start

Run the find-rss script with a website URL:

~/.openclaw/skills/find-rss/scripts/find-rss.sh <website_url>

Example:

~/.openclaw/skills/find-rss/scripts/find-rss.sh https://techcrunch.com/

What This Skill Does

Checks HTML link tags - Searches for <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tags
Tests common RSS paths - Tries standard feed locations like /feed, /rss, /atom
Validates feeds - Confirms discovered URLs return valid RSS/Atom content

How It Works

The script performs two main checks:

1. HTML Link Tag Discovery

Most websites with RSS feeds include a link tag in their HTML:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://example.com/feed/">

The script extracts all such links from the page source.

2. Common Path Testing

If no link tags are found, the script tests common RSS paths:

/feed and /feed/
/rss and /rss/
/atom and /atom/
/index.xml, /feed.xml, /rss.xml
/blog/feed, /news/feed

Interpreting Results

✅ Found in HTML: RSS link was discovered in the page's HTML source
✅ Common path: RSS feed exists at a standard location
❌ Not found: No RSS feed detected (website may not offer one)

Tips for Users

If no RSS feed is found:

Check the website's footer for an "RSS" or "Subscribe" link
Search Google for "[sitename] RSS feed"
Use feed discovery services like Feedly or Inoreader
Some sites use JSON Feeds or proprietary APIs instead of RSS

Common RSS Feed Patterns

Platform	Typical Feed URL
WordPress	`https://site.com/feed/`
Medium	`https://medium.com/feed/@username`
Substack	`https://newsletter.substack.com/feed`
Ghost	`https://site.com/rss/`
YouTube	`https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=...`

Limitations

Some websites block automated requests (may return 403)
JavaScript-rendered sites may hide RSS links
Relative URLs are resolved but may not always be accurate
Rate limiting may apply for multiple rapid requests
