Use the included configs

html2rss-web can serve the embedded html2rss-configs feed set directly from your own instance. This is the fastest path when you want a working feed without writing YAML first.

  1. Find a feed in the Feed Directory
  2. Set the Instance URL to your own html2rss-web address
  3. Open the local feed path from your instance
  4. Add it to your feed reader

You are successful when:

  • the feed URL opens from your own html2rss-web instance
  • your feed reader accepts the URL
  • new items appear without you editing any YAML

If that works, keep using included configs for that site. It is the lowest-maintenance path.

If you see a config file named phys.org/weekly.yml, you can access it at: http://localhost:4000/phys.org/weekly.rss

Just replace localhost:4000 with your own html2rss-web address.

Use a custom config when:

  • the site you want is not in the directory
  • the included feed misses fields you care about
  • you need a more specific page, section, or output format
