RSSHub

Feeds event sidecar tested — L1→L4

A per-citation toll at the crawler boundary — AI agents pay authors when they ground answers in feed items.

What gets metered

a grounded citation — when an LLM agent (or crawler) grounds an answer in a source URL served via RSSHub, it POSTs { crawlerId, link, author } to the sidecar's /citation route and pays a per-citation toll.

Attach surface — no fork

The crawler boundary — RSSHub itself is untouched. The party that fetches and monetizes the content reports the citation. (Alternative, still fork-free: an operator-run middleware in front of RSSHub that stamps an attribution token per item.)

Quickstart

Run the citation sidecar; crawlers report grounded citations to it:

PLATFORM=rsshub RATE=5000 \
PAYER_WALLETS='{"<crawlerId>":"0x…"}' \
CREATOR_WALLETS='{"<author-or-author-url>":"0x…"}' \
FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.example FACILITATOR_API_KEY=… \
npx up-integration                    # RATE = micro-USDC per citation

# a crawler reports a citation:
curl -X POST http://up-sidecar:8410/citation \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"crawlerId":"<crawlerId>","link":"https://…","author":"<author>"}'

All values above are placeholders — supply your own facilitator, wallets, and rate. The shared prerequisites (a deployed StakeVaultFactory, a running facilitator, a wallet registry) are covered in the admin overview.

Verify

node scripts/e2e-rsshub-live-docker.mjs

Fetches a real item from a live ghcr.io/diygod/rsshub feed, POSTs a crawler citation, and settles the toll on anvil (author paid 5000 micro-USDC).
