Blog Feed Monitor

Scrape blog posts via RSS/Atom feeds (free) with optional Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites.

Quick Start

No API key needed for RSS mode.

bash
# Scrape a blog's RSS feed
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://example.com/blog" --days 30

# Multiple blogs with keyword filter
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://blog1.com,https://blog2.com" --keywords "AI,marketing" --output summary

# Force Apify for JS-heavy sites
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://example.com" --mode apify

How It Works

Auto Mode (default)

For each URL, tries to discover an RSS/Atom feed:

Checks HTML <link rel="alternate"> tags
Probes common paths: /feed, /rss, /atom.xml, /feed.xml, /rss.xml, /blog/feed, /index.xml

Parses discovered feeds (supports RSS 2.0 and Atom)
If any URLs fail, falls back to Apify jupri/rss-xml-scraper (if token available)
Applies date and keyword filtering client-side

> Note: The Apify fallback actor jupri/rss-xml-scraper may need updating -- it has not been verified recently. RSS mode works reliably without it.

RSS Mode

Only tries RSS feeds, no Apify fallback.

Apify Mode

Uses Apify actor directly, skipping RSS discovery.

CLI Reference

| Flag | Default | Description | |------|---------|-------------| | --urls | required | Blog URL(s), comma-separated | | --keywords | none | Keywords to filter (comma-separated, OR logic) | | --days | 30 | Only include posts from last N days | | --max-posts | 50 | Max posts to return | | --mode | auto | auto (RSS + fallback), rss (RSS only), apify (Apify only) | | --output | json | Output format: json or summary | | --token | env var | Apify token (only needed for Apify mode/fallback) | | --timeout | 300 | Max seconds for Apify run |

Cost

RSS mode: Free (no API, no tokens)
Apify mode: Uses jupri/rss-xml-scraper -- minimal Apify credits
