Feed Reader Bot: RSS in Telegram

Channel • News

About this App

Ten favorite sites, three blogs and a couple of social accounts: checking them in turn is tiring. Feed Reader Bot watches for updates itself and sends a Telegram message the moment a new post appears.

Sources are added in a few steps, and you can read the news right in your usual feed. 📰

What the bot follows

The core of the service is RSS feeds: a special format in which websites publish a list of their new material. If a blog or a news site has one, the bot reads it and forwards the new entries.

The description also mentions social accounts and video channels. Paid plans add watching for changes on website pages.

How to connect your first feed

Start the bot. Send /start and read the greeting.
Add a feed. The /add command asks for an RSS link or a source.
Find sources. If you have no link at hand, /search suggests what to subscribe to.
Check the list. The /list command shows everything you follow.
Drop the extras. /remove deletes a feed that bores you.

News into a channel or group

The bot can post updates not only to you but to a channel or a chat. The commands are /channel and /group, and /channel_end finishes the setup.

That lets you build a themed channel, such as a tech digest that fills itself. Just make sure readers are not flooded with messages. 💡

Filters and a tidy feed

/settings. General parameters of the bot.
/spam. Anti-spam settings so you do not drown in duplicates.
/language. Switch the bot's interface language.
/request_feed. Ask for a feed to be added if the one you need is missing.

Well-tuned anti-spam makes the bot far friendlier: you see what matters, not a stream of repeats.

The paid Premium and Elite levels

Some features are available by subscription only. They include message templates (/template), scheduled sending (/timer), website page monitoring (/monitor) and receiving emails (/add_email).

If you need the basics, begin with the free option and see whether it is enough. Check plan terms and prices in the bot before paying, since they can change. ⚠️

How not to drown in feeds

The main trap of RSS is following too much. A week later the bot sends hundreds of messages and you mute the chat.

Start with five to seven sources that truly matter. After two weeks, remove the ones you never opened. A quiet feed has value too. ✅

On privacy: the bot receives only the links you give it and does not need access to your private conversations. Avoid subscribing to private feeds that carry a personal key in the address, and do not share such links.

For a channel or group, give the bot only the right to post messages. Extra rights are not needed.

Who it suits

Journalists, bloggers, channel admins, researchers and anyone who wants news without noise. It also works for tracking software updates or shop pages.

If you read the news once a week, you do not need it. For people who follow a topic daily, it saves time. 🔔
