RSSHub

RSSHub is a Node.js-based RSS feed generator that turns content from websites and online platforms into RSS/Atom (and JSON) feeds. It provides a large catalog of ready-made “routes” for popular services and a plugin-like architecture so you can build and host your own feed endpoints.

Key Features

• Large library of built-in routes to generate feeds for many websites and platforms
• Multiple output formats: RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds
• Route-based architecture (endpoints) with parameters for targeting users, tags, topics, etc.
• Extensible: create custom routes to scrape/parse content and expose it as feeds
• Caching support to reduce upstream requests and improve performance
• Authentication support for certain routes (e.g., cookies/tokens) when required by upstream sites
• Optional integration with Puppeteer for pages requiring JavaScript rendering
• Docker explaining/packaging and common deployment patterns (reverse proxy, env-based config)

Use Cases

• Follow social/media/news platforms from any RSS reader even when no official feed exists
• Build organization-specific feeds (intranet sites, dashboards, internal tools) via custom routes
• Centralize and normalize many sources into feeds for automation and notifications

Limitations and Considerations

• Some sources may break when upstream websites change HTML/anti-bot measures; routes can require ongoing maintenance
• JavaScript-heavy sources may require Puppeteer, increasing CPU/RAM usage

RSSHub is a good fit if you want a single, self-controlled service that can produce standards-based feeds from many sources and be extended to match your own content needs. It is commonly paired with an RSS reader or automation tools to consume the generated feeds.
