More suffixes to try in `tryToGetFeedURL`

Open jpluimers opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

In addition to the entries already checked by async function tryToGetFeedURL(tabUrl) in https://github.com/shevabam/get-rss-feed-url-extension/blob/master/js/functions.js please add these:

/feed/
/rss/
/blog/feed/
/blog/rss/
/blog/rss.xmls
/feeds/posts/default
/?format=feed

Sources:

  • https://help.ocoya.com/en/articles/8021127-how-to-find-rss-feed-urls which also suggests
    • For Medium publications: Add "/feed/" before the publication's name in the URL. For example, if the website URL is "https://medium.com/example-site," the RSS feed URL would be "https://medium.com/feed/example-site."
    • Construct the RSS feed URL using the channel ID in the following format: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={Channel ID}

(I wish I was a front-end developer, if I were I had made this into a pull request)

I would also like to add .atom, .rss, and .xml to this list.

Examples:

https://github.com/shevabam/get-rss-feed-url-extension/releases https://github.com/shevabam/get-rss-feed-url-extension/releases.atom

https://itch.io/digest https://itch.io/digest.rss

https://itch.io/games/newest https://itch.io/games/newest.xml

Each of these only accepts the extension listed.

I do see hardcoded support for GitHub; however, I can't find anywhere on GitHub that doesn't give 'no feeds found'.

Hi, I've added more suffixes in version 3.1.0 of the extension. Also, itch.io RSS feeds are now being retrieved. Thanks!
