Grabfeed - Python Library to Detect and Return RSS Feed for Given Website

About a year ago, I released my first Python library on Pypi - Grabfeed. It is a simple library that detects RSS feeds in given website (especially blogs) and returns the complete feed URL. Here is how you will use it:

from grabfeed.grabber import return_rss
rss_feed = return_rss('http://techcrunch.com')
print(rss_feed)

# Output: http://techcrunch.com/feed/

Installing Grabfeed

Grabfeed can be installed using pip. It depends upon two libraries - Beautifulsoup and requests. They are installed automatically. To install grabfeed run the following command:

pip install grabfeed
