作为一名作家和记者,阅读RSS提要对我来说是每天都会发生的事情。对于其他人来说,它仍然是一种以简洁易懂的方式接收新闻的好方法。如果您经常查看多个博客和新闻来源,我们强烈建议您使用RSS提要阅读器。
然而,随着RSS的流行,关于它是什么以及如何使用它的公开信息越来越少。许多人甚至不知道存在RSS提要。标准的RSS图标虽然是明亮的橙色,但与(RSS)WiFi和非接触式支付等内容非常模糊。
更糟糕的是,许多网站不再公开宣传其RSS提要URL(URLs),尽管它们仍在维护。在本文中,我们将讨论如何找到网站的RSS提要URL,即使它没有公开宣传。
RSS 浏览器扩展(RSS Browser Extensions)
查找网页的RSS(RSS)提要最有效的方法是为您的浏览器安装第三方RSS扩展。(RSS)
这些扩展只检查网页的链接 rel HTML标记,该标记指向页面的RSS提要。然后,他们在浏览器扩展栏中的图标中显示RSS提要。(RSS)
几年前,许多浏览器(例如Firefox )都预装了RSS提要阅读器。(RSS)现在,您需要从第三方开发人员那里获得这些。但是,有很多值得信赖的选项,在某些情况下,这些扩展甚至是由浏览器的开发人员制作的。
Google 的RSS 订阅扩展(RSS Subscription Extension)是Chrome中此用例的首选解决方案,但Firefox有一些选择,Feedbro和Awesome RSS是我们的首选。
对于 Safari,Safari 应用程序的简单RSS 按钮可以解决(RSS Button for Safari)问题,但价格为 0.99 美元。
网址黑客(URL Hacks)
另一种快速查找RSS提要URL的简单方法是对其URL命名约定进行有根据的猜测。
当您查找网站的支持相关页面时,您通常会注意到该页面位于帮助或支持子文件夹或子域中。例如, http: http://google.com/help/适用于 Google。
我们可以对网页的RSS提要执行相同的操作。最常见的是,RSS提要可以在提要或 rss 域子文件夹中找到。例如,如果您正在寻找http://example.com/RSS提要,请尝试http://example.com/feed/和http://example.com/rss/。
源代码(Source Code)
如果一切都失败了,是时候挖掘源头了。虽然处理源代码通常需要一些技巧,但通过网页的源代码查找RSS提要非常容易。
当您在一个您怀疑可能附加了RSS提要但找不到它的网页上时,右键单击页面上的任意位置并查找诸如查看源代码(View source code)之类的选项,因为它在 Chrome 中显示.
这将打开一个窗口,显示当前页面的所有HTML、CSS和JavaScript。如果这一切看起来很陌生且令人困惑,请不要太害怕。您所要做的就是搜索(在 Windows 中为Ctrl + F)术语“ application/rss ”。
虽然搜索该词会在大多数适用情况下显示结果,但您也可以尝试搜索“ rss ”或“ atom ”。如果没有找到,很可能该页面没有RSS提要。
RSS提要的URL将(URL)是 link rel HTML标记的 href 属性。在上面的屏幕截图中,您可以在https://www.online-tech-tips.com/feed/看到一个提要——我们强烈建议您订阅!
根据您需要查找RSS提要的频率,所有这些选项都是可行的并且值得探索。但是,对于普通用户,我们绝对推荐RSS浏览器扩展。其中许多,例如 Google 的官方Chrome扩展程序,都非常轻便,可以轻松提供所需的内容。
如果按照这些提示您仍然无法找到网页的RSS提要URL,则很可能没有提供该 URL。在这种情况下,请查看我们关于如何监控网站(how to monitor a website for c)变化的(anges)文章(h)。
How to Find an RSS Feed URL for Any Website
Before the age of Twitter and microblogging, RSS feedѕ were in competition for being the most efficient way of delivering breaking news to web surfers. Although RSS isn’t as poрular todaу, web serviсes like Fеedly dо a great јob of refreshing the look and feel of RSS feeds for the evolving internet.
As a writer and journalist, reading RSS feeds is a daily occurrence for me. For others, it can still be a great way of receiving your news in a way that’s concise and easy to digest. If you’re someone who is constantly checking multiple blogs and news sources, we highly recommend making use of an RSS feed reader.
However, with RSS’s lapse in popularity has come less open information about what it is and how you can make use of it. Many people aren’t even aware that RSS feeds exist. The standard RSS icon, albeit bright and orange, is very ambiguous with things such as WiFi and contactless payment.
Even worse, many websites don’t openly advertise their RSS feed URLs anymore, although they’re still maintained. In this article, let’s talk about how you can find the RSS feed URL for a website, even when it isn’t publicly advertised.
RSS Browser Extensions
The most efficient way to find a webpage’s RSS feed is to install a third-party RSS extension for your browser.
These extensions simply check a webpage for the link rel HTML tag, which points to the page’s RSS feed(s). They then present the RSS feed(s) in an icon in your browser’s extension bar.
Before a few years ago, many browsers, such as Firefox, shipped with an RSS feed reader pre-installed. Now, you’ll need to get these from a third-party developer. However, there are plenty of trustworthy options, and in some cases, these extensions are even made by the browser’s developer.
Google’s RSS Subscription Extension is the go-to solution for this use case in Chrome, but Firefox has a few options, with Feedbro and Awesome RSS being our top picks.
For Safari, the simple RSS Button for Safari app does the trick, but it costs $0.99.
URL Hacks
Another simple way to quickly find an RSS feed URL is to make an educated guess regarding its URL naming convention.
When you’re looking for support-related pages of a website, you’ll often notice that the page is located at the help or support subfolder or subdomain. For example, http://google.com/help/ works for Google.
We can do the same for a webpage’s RSS feed. Most commonly, RSS feeds can be found at the feed or rss domain subfolder. For example, if you’re looking for the RSS feed for http://example.com/, try http://example.com/feed/ and http://example.com/rss/.
Source Code
If all else fails, it’s time to get digging in the source. While dealing with source code often requires a bit of savviness, finding an RSS feed through a webpage’s source code is incredibly easy.
When you’re on a webpage that you suspect may have an RSS feed attached to it, but you can’t find it, right-click anywhere on the page and look for an option such as View source code, as it’s presented in Chrome.
This will bring up a window that shows all of the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript of the current page. If it all looks foreign and confusing, don’t get too intimidated. All you have to do is search (Ctrl + F in Windows) for the term “application/rss“.
While searching for this term will show results in the majority of applicable cases, you can also attempt to search for “rss” or “atom”. If none are found, it’s likely that the page does not have an RSS feed.
The RSS feed’s URL will be the href attribute of the link rel HTML tag. In the screenshot above, you can see one feed located at https://www.online-tech-tips.com/feed/ – which we highly recommend you subscribe to!
Depending on how often you’ll need to find RSS feeds, all of these options are viable and worth exploring. However, for the average user, we definitely recommend an RSS browser extension. Many of these, such as Google’s official Chrome extension, are extremely light and easily provide exactly what is needed.
If you’re still unable to find a webpage’s RSS feed URL following these tips, it’s likely that one has not been provided. In that case, check out our article on how to monitor a website for changes.
