It wraps the original feedfinder logic created by Mark Pilgrim and maintained by Aaron Swartz, adapting it for modern use. The library exposes a single public function, `find_feeds`, which takes a domain or URL and returns a ranked list of feed URLs it discovers by parsing the site's HTML.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward, but it has not been actively maintained since its 2016-01-25 release. The repository shows minimal recent activity. This age raises concerns about compatibility with current Python versions and whether its feed-detection heuristics remain effective on modern websites.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2016-01-25) and its Python version compatibility is unspecified. While MIT-licensed and dependency-free, the lack of maintenance means it will likely fail on modern Python versions and may not handle contemporary website structures. For active feed discovery, use a maintained alternative or implement feed detection directly with current libraries."},"id":"feedfinder2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/feedfinder2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/feedfinder2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/feedfinder2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2016-01-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"feedfinder2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Find the feed URLs for a website."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":462534,"position":6526,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.4"}
