FiveFilters Feed Creator turns webpages into custom RSS feeds, with selectors and preview options.
About FiveFilters
FiveFilters Feed Creator is a web tool that turns webpages into subscribable RSS and JSON feeds, aimed at sites that do not offer built-in feeds. It can detect items automatically by finding suitable selectors, so the feed updates as new items are added, and it offers a preview and a JavaScript mode for detecting items after JavaScript execution. Users can adjust selectors and filter items by specific words or URL patterns, expand feeds to include the full text of each linked item, and receive alerts through email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks when new content appears.
Feed Creator's hosted service is now part of Feed Control, and FiveFilters has published a blog post about changes to the free Feed Creator service. Custom, managed feeds can be created on the company's business plan. A new self-hosted version of Feed Creator is described as being in development and available later this year. Documentation was listed as coming soon, with support available by contact or forum.
