About
rsspls
generates RSS feeds from web pages using CSS selectors to extracts
parts of the page to turn into a feed. Example use cases:
- Create a feed for a blog that does not have one so that you will know when there are new posts.
- Create a feed from the search results on real estate agent's website so that you know when there are new listings—without having to check manually all the time.
- Create a feed of the upcoming tour dates of your favourite band or DJ.
- Create a feed of the product page for a company, so you know when new products are added.
You can subscribe to the generated feeds in your feed reader, either by referring to them locally or by publishing them on a web server.
