GARSS Studio RSS API

Use when an AI agent needs to read, refresh, summarize, or inspect RSS news from this GARSS Studio project through its backend API. Covers login with access code, Bearer token usage, reader item endpoints, subscription lookup, and the single-port API constraint.

Project repository: https://github.com/zhaoolee/garss.

Use this skill when the user asks an AI agent to get RSS news from this project, summarize subscribed RSS articles, inspect GARSS Studio subscriptions, refresh a feed, or work with this project's backend API.

Core Rules

• Use the single public entrypoint only: http://127.0.0.1:25173 in local dev unless the user gives another base URL.
• Do not access the backend container port or RSSHub container directly.
• If the local service is not running and the user wants live data, start GARSS Studio from the repository before calling APIs.
• Authenticate before calling protected endpoints.
• Prefer cached reads unless the user explicitly asks to refresh.
• Preserve source names and original article links in user-facing summaries.

Local Startup

Use these steps when the user asks for live GARSS data and http://127.0.0.1:25173/api/health is not reachable.

1. Go to the project:

bash

cd path/to/garss/garss-studio

If the repository is not present, clone https://github.com/zhaoolee/garss first, then enter garss-studio.

2. Ensure env file exists:

bash

cp .env.example .env

Skip this if .env already exists.

3. Start the local development stack:

bash

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -d

Development mode exposes only one public port: http://127.0.0.1:25173. The backend and RSSHub services stay behind the frontend gateway. The dev compose defaults SCHEDULER_ENABLED=false, so startup should not trigger a full automatic RSS refresh.

4. Verify service health:

bash

curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:25173/api/health

The browser entry is http://127.0.0.1:25173/reader?pw=banana.

Auth Flow

1. Login:

bash

curl -sS -X POST "$BASE_URL/api/auth/login" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"accessCode":"banana"}'

2. Read token from the JSON response.
3. Call protected endpoints with:

text

Authorization: Bearer <token>

If the user gives a URL containing ?pw=..., use that value as accessCode.

Reading RSS News

For the user's subscribed RSS news, call:

bash

curl -sS "$BASE_URL/api/reader/items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

This returns aggregated articles across enabled subscriptions, normally sorted newest first by the backend/frontend contract. Use ?refresh=true only when the user asks to force refresh, because it will fetch real upstream RSS sources and update cache.

For one source:

1. Call GET /api/subscriptions to find the subscription id.
2. Call GET /api/reader/subscriptions/{id}.
3. Add ?refresh=true only for a forced refresh.

Response Handling

Reader items normally include fields such as title, link, publishedAt, subscriptionId, subscriptionName, author/content fields, and optional HTML. When summarizing:

• Sort by publishedAt descending if needed.
• Group by subscriptionName when useful.
• Include the original link.
• Mention fetch errors from the errors array if present.
• Do not expose Bearer tokens in final answers.

API Reference

For endpoint details, read references/api.md only when needed.

The running backend also exposes:

• Swagger UI: /api/docs
• OpenAPI JSON: /api/openapi.json
