# 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. ```bash # 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.

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.

Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
