Blog Feed Monitor

Scrape blog posts via RSS/Atom feeds (free) with optional Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites.

Quick Start

No API key needed for RSS mode.

# Scrape a blog's RSS feed
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://example.com/blog" --days 30

# Multiple blogs with keyword filter
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://blog1.com,https://blog2.com" --keywords "AI,marketing" --output summary

# Force Apify for JS-heavy sites
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
  --urls "https://example.com" --mode apify

How It Works

Auto Mode (default)

  1. For each URL, tries to discover an RSS/Atom feed:
    • Checks HTML <link rel="alternate"> tags
    • Probes common paths: /feed, /rss, /atom.xml, /feed.xml, /rss.xml, /blog/feed, /index.xml
  2. Parses discovered feeds (supports RSS 2.0 and Atom)
  3. If any URLs fail, falls back to Apify jupri/rss-xml-scraper (if token available)
  4. Applies date and keyword filtering client-side

Note: The Apify fallback actor jupri/rss-xml-scraper may need updating -- it has not been verified recently. RSS mode works reliably without it.

RSS Mode

Only tries RSS feeds, no Apify fallback.

Apify Mode

Uses Apify actor directly, skipping RSS discovery.

Research supported advertising promises from a specific buyer's context, current product facts, customer language and observed ads. Turn them into static, video or copy ideas; match video ideas to actual recipes and save a product-scoped angle bank for write-video-ad-script. Product-led discovery can use verified facts without reviews. Reference persistence and reach are observations, not proof of performance.

The intake stage of a Meta ad harness. Researches the brand first, states what it assumes, and asks only what it cannot infer and what would change money, claims or legal exposure if guessed wrong — at most four questions a turn, in plain business language. Writes the brand's stable facts (ads/brand.md), the campaign brief, and a log of what was asked vs assumed. Use it when someone wants to run Meta ads and the brand's ad facts are not yet recorded.

Checks paid ads against the ad platform's rules (Meta, TikTok, Google, LinkedIn and others) and the brand's category rules: the copy, on-image or on-screen text, pictures and people. Rewrites what can be fixed honestly, adds the disclosures that are needed, and flags anything that needs a human or legal review, with one pass, fixed or flag line per ad and platform. Use alone when you already have the ad text or images and know where they will run; otherwise run the playbook for the job (e.g. make-static-ads, make-content, email-lifecycle).
