FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor a blog for new posts from the command line?

Add the blog with `blogwatcher add "Name" https://example.com`, then run `blogwatcher scan` to check all tracked blogs for new articles. New items appear in the scan output and can be listed with `blogwatcher articles`.

How to track RSS and Atom feeds with blogwatcher?

blogwatcher detects RSS and Atom feed sources automatically when you add a blog URL. Use `blogwatcher add` with the site URL, and scans will report the feed source type along with found and new article counts.

How do I install the blogwatcher CLI?

Install blogwatcher with Go by running `go install github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher@latest`. This places the blogwatcher binary in your Go bin directory, which must be on your PATH.

Can I mark all articles as read at once in blogwatcher?

Yes, run `blogwatcher read-all` to mark every article as read in one command. To mark a single article, use `blogwatcher read` followed by the article ID shown in `blogwatcher articles`.

What are the limitations of blogwatcher for feed monitoring?

blogwatcher only checks for updates when you manually run `blogwatcher scan`; it does not run as a background daemon or send notifications. Sites without RSS or Atom feeds may not be detectable.
