FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor blogs and RSS feeds for new content automatically?▼

You can monitor blogs and RSS feeds automatically by adding the blog URL to the blogwatcher-cli tool. It will then check for new content and notify you, saving you from manually visiting each site.

What is the best way to import RSS subscriptions from an OPML file?▼

The best way to import RSS subscriptions from an OPML file is using the OPML import feature. This allows you to bulk migrate your existing feed reader subscriptions directly into the SQLite database.

Can I track blog updates if the site does not have an RSS or Atom feed?▼

Yes, you can track blog updates even without an RSS or Atom feed. The tool features an HTML scraping fallback to monitor content changes, and it can also attempt automatic feed discovery from the blog homepage.

Do I need a SQLite database to manage read and unread articles?▼

Yes, you need a SQLite database for storage to manage read and unread articles. The blogwatcher-cli tool uses this database to track your reading progress and store the content fetched from the monitored feeds.

How does automatic feed discovery work for blog homepages?▼

Automatic feed discovery works by analyzing the HTML of a blog homepage when no feed URL is provided. It searches the page source to locate RSS or Atom feed links, allowing you to start monitoring without knowing the exact feed address.
