What is RSS Autodiscovery?
RSS autodiscovery refers to the ability of RSS clients and web browsers to discover RSS feeds associated with a webpage. RSS clients that support this feature can accept a URL of a webpage (e.g. a website's homepage) and automatically figure out the URL of the RSS feed from the HTML code of the webpage.
This term is used officially by the RSS Advisory Board [https://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery] (accessed 2024-11-02). However, in this case, it doesn't actually refer to discovering RSS feeds automatically, but to a manual method for the webmaster to declare RSS feeds in a webpage's HTML code. In particular, RSS Guard, can try to "autodiscover" RSS feeds without requiring that such declaration be present in the HTML code, by trying common URL paths like /feed and /rss.
