changedetection.io VS rss-proxy

I use ChangeDetection,

- https://changedetection.io/#features

- https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh

I used a business to business website that lists every single company in this industry by location and has a link for each to generate a list of companys and URLS. I monitor this for changes with changedetection.io

0.45.8 is out! Support for xPath2.0/3.0 means you can use logic in your selectors (for example, give the count of the number of divs that contain certain text, and much more). UI improvements, Selectable browser (plug it into Bright Data's scraping browser!) and more, check it out! Much ❤ from the changedetection team. https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io / changedetection.io

The wiki is pretty easy to follow. The instructions here are the ones I followed. Simply uncommented the lines mentioned.

Hello, Is there a free alternative to this website changedetection.io ?

hey all - I noticed after showing our homepage ( changedetection.io ) to a lot of friends at the bar, they all click on the picture/screenshot at the top expecting a short video, but theres nothing there :) I remember there was some service that can build one for you? Or is it better to make it your self.. ? if so.. which tech do you use? (linux here)

Love from the changedetection.io crew ❤❤❤

You can use an open-source tool like this one: https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

Thank you for that. I haven't tried https://rssproxy.migor.org/ either but I'll definitely add it to my list. Other similar services I'm aware of include:

I have been using https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy which has been pretty good so far for the websites that I want to monitor that don't have an RSS feed.

I'm using it every day, that's what happens to it. Many sites provide their own feeds and those which don't can often be fed to something like rss-proxy [1] which will create a feed (or several feeds) based on an XPath query [2]. This can be self-hosted so you don't have to inform external entities about your feeding behaviour.

[2] e.g. here's how to get Göteborgs Posten (a Swedish newspaper which ditched its feed some time ago) in an RSS feed reader (Atom is also supported through ...&o=Atom) - note that this is an example.org domain so the link does not work as is - https://rssproxy.example.org/api/feed?url=https://gp.se&pCon...

Surprisingly I haven't immediately found software which has received more attention that rss-proxy (1300 Github stars). I've installed the program, but it fails to detect some or all desired elements on specific websites and there's no way to adjust from what I can see. Politepol fails to build on my system and to my knowledge doesn't support Javascript (on websites) when self-hosting.

It might be possible to setup an RSS proxy https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxyhttps://rssproxy-v1.migor.org/ <- might work outright:
