Quick Alert Creation Guide

Fastest Method: Manual Creation

You're right - manual creation is faster than automated clicking!

Step 1: Create Alerts Manually

1. Go to https://www.google.com/alerts
2. For each query from queries_to_create.txt:
   • Click "Create an alert about..." textbox
   • Paste the query
   • Click "Show options"
   • Click delivery dropdown → Select "RSS feed"
   • Click "Create Alert"
   • Repeat for next query

Step 2: Extract All RSS Feeds (One Batch)

After creating all alerts:

1. Open browser console on https://www.google.com/alerts (F12)
2. Copy and paste the code from scripts/extract-rss-from-page.js
3. Press Enter - JSON will be copied to clipboard
4. Update rss-feeds.json:

   # Paste the JSON output here, then:
   echo '<paste-json-here>' | python3 scripts/update-rss-feeds.py
   

This extracts ALL RSS feeds at once - no clicking needed!
