RSS Watcher
Monitor RSS/Atom feeds and get notified of new articles.
Configuration
Create ~/.echo-agent/feeds.yaml:
feeds:
- url: https://hnrss.org/frontpage
category: tech
label: Hacker News
- url: https://arxiv.org/rss/cs.AI
category: ai
label: arXiv AI
- url: https://feeds.feedburner.com/ruanyifeng
category: blog
label: 阮一峰
poll_interval: "*/30 * * * *"
max_items: 10
Usage
pip install feedparser
python3 scripts/feed_monitor.py check
python3 scripts/feed_monitor.py list
python3 scripts/feed_monitor.py add "https://example.com/feed.xml" --category tech
python3 scripts/feed_monitor.py import feeds.opml
How It Works
- Reads feed URLs from
feeds.yaml
- Parses via
feedparser library
- Tracks seen entries in SQLite (
~/.echo-agent/feeds.db) by entry ID/link
- Returns only new (unseen) entries
- Delivers updates through active channel
