System AtomCrafts

FeedCraft comes with a set of built-in “AtomCrafts” that perform specific processing steps on your feeds. You can chain these AtomCrafts together in a FlowCraft to create powerful pipelines.

Content Acquisition & Repair

These atoms help you fetch full content or fix common feed issues.

fulltext

Extracts the full content of the article from the original webpage.

• Use case: When the RSS feed only provides a summary or snippet.
• Mechanism: Uses a standard HTTP client to fetch the page and an algorithm to extract the main content. Fast and lightweight.

fulltext-plus

Extracts full content using a headless browser (Puppeteer).

• Use case: For websites that require JavaScript to render content or have strong anti-bot protections.
• Mechanism: Connects to the configured Browserless/Puppeteer service to render the page. Slower but more robust.

proxy

Simple proxy for the feed.

• Use case: When you just want to forward the original feed without modification, or use FeedCraft as a central gateway.

guid-fix

Replaces the RSS item GUID with an MD5 hash of the item’s content.

• Use case: Some feeds change their GUIDs frequently even when content hasn’t changed, causing duplicate unread items in readers. This atom stabilizes the GUID based on content.

relative-link-fix

Converts relative links (e.g., <a href="/about">) in the content to absolute links (e.g., <a href="https://example.com/about">).

• Use case: Essential when extracting full content, as relative links will break when viewed in an RSS reader.

cleanup

Cleans up the HTML content to remove clutter.

• Use case: Improving readability by removing classes, styles, and empty tags.

Advanced filtering using semantic understanding.

ignore-advertorial
