rsspls generates RSS feeds from web pages. Here are some example use cases:
- Create a feed for a blog that does not have one so that you will know when there are new posts.
- Create a feed from the search results on a real estate agent’s website so that you know when there are new listings—without having to check manually all the time.
- Create a feed of the upcoming tour dates of your favorite band or DJ.
- Create a feed of the product page for a company, so you know when new products are added.
The idea is that you will then subscribe to the generated feeds in your feed reader. This will typically require the feeds to be hosted via a web server.

Understanding rsspls Through Analogy
Imagine you are in a large library filled with thousands of books, each one representing a webpage on the internet. Now, suppose there’s a magical librarian who can take any book that doesn’t have a summary (RSS feed) and create a short synopsis for you. Instead of manually searching through the library for new information, you can continuously receive updates from the librarian about any new additions or summaries related to your interests. This is exactly what rsspls does—it generates subscriptions from web pages that lack RSS feeds, allowing you to stay updated effortlessly.
Troubleshooting
If you run into any issues while using rsspls, consider the following steps:
- Verify that you have the correct version of Rust installed. The minimum supported version is 1.70.0.
- Make sure you are building the application in the right directory.
- Check for network issues if you can’t retrieve the webpage content.
