FAQPage Schema
How do I automate RSS and Atom feed monitoring for new blog posts?▼

Automate RSS and Atom feed monitoring by scanning configured feeds to discover new blog posts and tracking read or unread status without manual checks. The process relies on blogwatcher-cli to handle feed discovery and update notifications automatically.

Can I import my existing RSS subscriptions from an OPML file?▼

Yes, you can import RSS subscriptions from an OPML file. The feature parses OPML files to automatically configure your feed monitoring list, allowing you to migrate existing subscriptions into the tracking system quickly.

Does blogwatcher work with websites that do not have an RSS feed?▼

Yes, it works with websites lacking an RSS feed by falling back to HTML scraping. When automatic RSS or Atom feed discovery fails on a blog homepage, the tool scrapes the HTML content directly to find and monitor new articles.

Do I need to install blogwatcher-cli before monitoring feeds?▼

Yes, installing and configuring blogwatcher-cli is required before monitoring feeds. The Skill acts as an automation layer that drives the blogwatcher-cli tool, meaning the command-line interface must be present in your environment to scan feeds and manage articles.

What is the best way to track read and unread status across multiple blogs?▼

Track read and unread status across multiple blogs by automating feed scanning with a command-line tool. This approach centralizes article state management, automatically flagging new posts as unread and marking them read after review.
