GARSS Studio RSS API
Project repository: https://github.com/zhaoolee/garss.
Use this skill when the user asks an AI agent to get RSS news from this project, summarize subscribed RSS articles, inspect GARSS Studio subscriptions, refresh a feed, or work with this project's backend API.
Core Rules
- Use the single public entrypoint only:
http://127.0.0.1:25173 in local dev unless the user gives another base URL.
- Do not access the backend container port or RSSHub container directly.
- If the local service is not running and the user wants live data, start GARSS Studio from the repository before calling APIs.
- Authenticate before calling protected endpoints.
- Prefer cached reads unless the user explicitly asks to refresh.
- Preserve source names and original article links in user-facing summaries.
Local Startup
Use these steps when the user asks for live GARSS data and http://127.0.0.1:25173/api/health is not reachable.
- Go to the project:
cd path/to/garss/garss-studio
If the repository is not present, clone https://github.com/zhaoolee/garss first, then enter garss-studio.
- Ensure env file exists:
cp .env.example .env
Skip this if .env already exists.
- Start the local development stack:
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -d
Development mode exposes only one public port: http://127.0.0.1:25173. The backend and RSSHub services stay behind the frontend gateway. The dev compose defaults SCHEDULER_ENABLED=false, so startup should not trigger a full automatic RSS refresh.
- Verify service health:
curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:25173/api/health
The browser entry is http://127.0.0.1:25173/reader?pw=banana.
Auth Flow
- Login:
curl -sS -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/auth/login" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"accessCode":"banana"}'
- Read
token from the JSON response.
- Call protected endpoints with:
Authorization: Bearer <token>
If the user gives a URL containing ?pw=..., use that value as accessCode.
Reading RSS News
For the user's subscribed RSS news, call:
curl -sS "$BASE_URL/api/reader/items" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
This returns aggregated articles across enabled subscriptions, normally sorted newest first by the backend/frontend contract. Use ?refresh=true only when the user asks to force refresh, because it will fetch real upstream RSS sources and update cache.
For one source:
- Call
GET /api/subscriptions to find the subscription id.
- Call
GET /api/reader/subscriptions/{id}.
- Add
?refresh=true only for a forced refresh.
Response Handling
Reader items normally include fields such as title, link, publishedAt, subscriptionId, subscriptionName, author/content fields, and optional HTML. When summarizing:
- Sort by
publishedAt descending if needed.
- Group by
subscriptionName when useful.
- Include the original
link.
- Mention fetch errors from the
errors array if present.
- Do not expose Bearer tokens in final answers.
API Reference
For endpoint details, read references/api.md only when needed.
The running backend also exposes:
- Swagger UI:
/api/docs
- OpenAPI JSON:
/api/openapi.json
