RSS and Atom feeds for lobste.rs, with filtering by score, comments, and keywords.
lobsterss wraps the lobste.rs JSON API and generates filtered RSS and Atom feeds on demand. Feeds are cached for 20 minutes to be a good API citizen.
lobste.rs provides basic tag-based feeds but has no built-in way to filter by score, comment count, or title keyword. lobsterss adds those as query parameters on top of the standard feed URLs.
The following feeds mirror lobste.rs's own URLs and are available in RSS (.rss) and Atom (.atom) format.
| Feed | URL |
|---|---|
| Hottest | /hottest.rss |
| Newest | /newest.rss |
| By tag | /t/python.rss |
| Multiple tags | /t/rust,python,java.rss |
Multi-tag feeds use OR semantics - stories tagged with any of the listed tags are included.
Append to any feed URL as query parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
