Monitor RSS / Atom feeds for new posts (Python feedparser).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Blog and Feed Watcher
Monitor RSS and Atom feeds from blogs, news sites, and podcasts to track new posts. Uses the `feedparser` Python library — no API keys required for most feeds.
## When to Use
- User wants to check for new posts from specific blogs or news sites
- User wants to aggregate headlines from multiple sources
- User wants to monitor a research blog or tech feed for updates
- User wants to read the latest posts from a site that has an RSS feed
- User wants to set up periodic feed monitoring
## How to Use
### 1. Install feedparser
```powershell
pip install feedparser
```
### 2. Read a single RSS/Atom feed
```python
import feedparser
from datetime import datetime
feed = feedparser.parse("https://news.ycombinator.com/rss")
print(f"Feed: {feed.feed.title}")
print(f"Posts: {len(feed.entries)}\n")
for entry in feed.entries[:5]:
title = entry.get("title", "No title")
link = entry.get("link", "")
date = entry.get("published", "Unknown date")
print(f"• {title}\n {link}\n {date}\n")
```
### 3. Monitor multiple feeds
```python
import feedparser, time
FEEDS = [
"https://feeds.feedburner.com/oreilly/radar",
"https://blog.openai.com/rss/",
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/blogwatcher@sha256:dce2b680f215ed63The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
