Python API

from feedkit import search_catalog, fetch_feed, get_catalog_stats, FeedStore
from feedkit.core import collect

# Search the built-in catalog
feeds = search_catalog("cloudflare")
feeds = search_catalog(category="technology", language="en", limit=50)

# Fetch a single feed (async)
entries = await fetch_feed("https://blog.cloudflare.com/rss/")
for entry in entries:
    print(entry.title, entry.url, entry.published)

# Subscribe and collect
store = FeedStore()                              # SQLite at ~/.feedkit/feedkit.db
store.subscribe("https://blog.cloudflare.com/rss/", category="tech")
result = await collect(store, concurrency=20)    # async parallel fetch
print(f"{result.new_articles} new, {result.feeds_ok}/{result.feeds_total} OK")

# Search collected articles (FTS5)
articles = store.search("kubernetes", count=10)

# Latest articles
articles = store.get_latest(count=20, category="tech")

# Feed health
health = store.get_health()                      # fetch/error counts per feed

MCP Workflow Example

User: "What are the latest AI papers on arXiv?"

1. search_feed_catalog(query="arxiv", category="science")
   → finds arXiv cs.AI, cs.LG, cs.CL feeds

2. subscribe_feed(url="https://rss.arxiv.org/rss/cs.AI")

3. collect_feeds(category="science")
   → fetches new entries

4. get_latest_articles(category="science", count=10)
   → returns latest papers

Disclaimer

This package distributes a catalog of publicly available RSS feed URLs, not the feed content itself. RSS is a syndication standard — publishing an RSS feed is an explicit invitation for readers to subscribe. FeedKit fetches feeds on the user's behalf and does not store or redistribute copyrighted content.

Feeds behind hard paywalls (Bloomberg, FT, WSJ, Barron's) and feeds with aggressive terms of service have been removed from the catalog.
