Simple Workflow: Create Alerts → Extract RSS Feeds

Step 1: Create Alerts (You Do This)

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

Fast tip: Keep queries_to_create.txt open in a side window for easy copy-paste!

Step 2: Extract All RSS Feeds (I Do This)

After you've created all alerts:

Open browser console on https://www.google.com/alerts (F12 or Cmd+Option+I)
Copy the JavaScript from scripts/extract-rss-from-page.js
Paste and run in console (press Enter)
Copy the JSON output from console

Run this command:

echo '<paste-json-here>' | python3 scripts/extract-all-rss-batch.py

That's it! All RSS feeds will be saved to rss-feeds.json.

Benefits

✅ You create alerts fast (manual is faster)
✅ I extract all RSS feeds in one batch (no clicking needed)
✅ Simple workflow: create → extract → done
✅ No automation complexity
