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.
How to Use Them
Section titled “How to Use Them”- Find a feed in the Feed Directory
- Set the Instance URL to your own
html2rss-webaddress - Open the local feed path from your instance
- Add it to your feed reader
What Success Looks Like
Section titled “What Success Looks Like”You are successful when:
- the feed URL opens from your own
html2rss-webinstance - 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.
Example
Section titled “Example”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.
When to Move On
Section titled “When to Move On”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
Next steps:
- Use automatic feed generation when you want to create feeds directly from page URLs
- Create Custom Feeds when you need a reviewable config
