FAQPage Schema

How do I track blog updates from RSS and Atom feeds?▼

You can track blog updates by adding RSS or Atom feeds to a monitoring tool that scans subscribed sources for new articles. The system uses persistent storage and configurable filters to manage subscriptions and track read/unread states.

Can I bulk subscribe to RSS feeds using an OPML file?▼

Yes, you can bulk subscribe to RSS feeds by importing an OPML file. This allows you to add multiple feed sources at once instead of entering them individually.

What happens if a blog does not have an RSS or Atom feed?▼

Does command line RSS feed monitoring support read and unread tracking?▼
