FindRSS

FindRSS is a command-line tool that searches for the Atom or RSS feed of a given website by trying various common and uncommon paths.

Features

• Searches for RSS/Atom feeds by generating and checking multiple possible feed URLs
• Supports concurrent requests to improve performance
• Reads input from a JSON file containing a list of websites
• Updates the JSON file with the discovered RSS/Atom feed URLs
• Handles cases where no feed is found for a website

Installation

1. Make sure you have Go installed on your system.
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/diegocaumont/findrss-go
   

3. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd findrss-go
   

4. Build the executable:

   go build -o find
   

Usage

1. Prepare a JSON file containing a list of websites to search for RSS/Atom feeds. The JSON file should have the following format:

   [
     {
       "url": "https://example1.com"
     },
     {
       "url": "https://example2.com"
     }
   ]

2. Run the find.go tool, providing the path to the JSON file as an argument:

   ./find input.json
   

3. The tool will process each website concurrently, searching for RSS/Atom feeds.
4. The discovered feed URLs will be added to the JSON file, and the updated file will be saved.
5. If no feed is found for a website, it will be marked with "NO_RSS_FEED" in the JSON file.
