FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor multiple RSS feeds for new blog posts automatically?

You can monitor RSS feeds automatically by scanning all subscribed feeds to fetch new articles and filter unread items. This requires the blogwatcher-cli binary to discover feeds and track read/unread status across categories.

Can I import OPML files to subscribe to multiple RSS feeds at once?

Yes, OPML import allows you to quickly subscribe to multiple RSS feeds at once. You can import your existing OPML file to batch-add subscriptions and immediately start monitoring those feeds for updates.

What happens when a blog does not have an RSS or Atom feed available?

When an RSS or Atom feed is unavailable, the monitor uses an HTML scraping fallback to check for updates. This ensures you can still track blogs that do not publish standard syndication feeds.

Does blog monitoring support automatic feed discovery from site homepages?

Yes, automatic feed discovery detects RSS and Atom feeds directly from blog homepages. You simply provide the site URL, and the tool locates and subscribes to the available feed without manual configuration.

Do I need to install any specific binary to track read and unread articles?

Yes, you need the blogwatcher-cli binary installed to track read and unread articles. This tool handles the underlying feed scanning, article fetching, and status filtering for your subscriptions.

How do I filter unread articles by category when monitoring news feeds?

You can filter unread articles by category after scanning your subscribed feeds. The monitoring tool tracks read and unread status, allowing you to sort and view newly fetched content based on your specified topics.
