#RSS Anything is now delivering on average 40,000 fresh feeds a day for sites that do not support RSS natively.I landed on this number after adding a 15 min TTL cache to help quell the onslaught of RSS client hugs that was taking https://rss.diffbot.com down.

40,000 is an astonishing figure. I took a glance at the server logs and it's truly a random array of content.Here's a couple that stood out to me...

@jeromechoo does this do full text rss feeds as in you can read the full articles with images and all in the feed reader and does this work with newsflash rss reader for linux?

@jeromechoo also does this work with social media sites? a lot of the big ones have been guting rss support and locking everything behind login screens which is really annoying nowadays and rss is a way to get around that stuff

@GlitchGhost it can only see content from the page you enter. It essentially structures a list of links into an RSS format. Should work in all RSS readers!

@GlitchGhost probably not. It can only see what a non logged in user sees on the page you supply it.

@GlitchGhost don't know what to tell you. I just built it to solve a problem I had with websites that don't support RSS. When stuff breaks I fix it because it affects me. I also respond to issues on Github if people post them.

@GlitchGhost RSS Anything is built on top of an AI extraction model maintained by @diffbot. It works best on pages where there are a bunch of links in some kind of clear chronological order (dates near the links). Besides that, it's a bot, so it would also require the page to be bot friendly.

@jeromechoo @diffbot ah I see. What about when it comes to rate limits? I've had a few times where it say "too many requests" from just a page refresh or if I want to do a few feeds and when adding them into newsflash I get an error and it looks like it was not added to the reader even though it is added but it does not show new stuff until the next refresh

@GlitchGhost I added a 10 refreshes per min per URL rate limiter to get aggressive RSS readers to chill out. But with the new redis cache I can just serve the cached response rather than return a rate limit error. Let me tweak that.

@GlitchGhost OK done. Removed the URL-based rate limiter. That was unnecessary. There's still an IP based rate limit that's a generous 60/minute. You shouldn't be hitting the rate limiter as much now.

@jeromechoo sweet and thanks, i used to use open rss but they became super strict and picky when it comes to rate limits to where it became unuseable for most rss users and im happy to see more options popping up like yours as well as morss.it and rss bridge which all work great. keep up the great work man

@GlitchGhost bandwidth isn’t free so it makes sense to rate limit if they can’t pay for it as it scales. I can’t even guarantee this will stay up forever. But for now we can support a decent amount of scale without having to worry about rate limiting too much. Mostly I just don’t want to get inadvertently ddosed.
