watchers

You can poll RSS feeds and JSON endpoints without duplicates by using a watermark-based dedup system. This approach persists seen items across runs, ensuring only new items are emitted on subsequent scheduled polls.

Watermark dedup for automated feed polling is a mechanism that tracks the last seen item from RSS or JSON sources. It persists this state to ensure subsequent polling runs only emit newly discovered items.

To monitor GitHub events on a cron schedule and output Markdown, you can use a polling watcher designed for cron-based automation. It polls GitHub for new items and renders the results into Markdown format for delivery.

Cron-based feed polling works on both Linux and macOS environments. The watcher is specifically designed to run scheduled automation across these platforms to generate concise notifications.

You can configure limits and timeouts for RSS and JSON polling. The watcher supports configurable limits and timeouts to manage how many items are processed during each automated polling run.

The best way to generate digest notifications from polled feeds is to use a watcher that outputs Markdown. This Markdown output is designed specifically for cron-based delivery and digest creation from new items.
