feedgrab Setup Guide

Install feedgrab, configure API keys, login to platforms, and verify everything works.

Trigger

/feedgrab-setup
"Install feedgrab"
"配置 feedgrab"
When /feedgrab reports "feedgrab not found"

Step 1: Check Python Environment

bash

python3 --version 2>/dev/null || python --version 2>/dev/null
pip3 --version 2>/dev/null || pip --version 2>/dev/null

Requires Python ≥ 3.10. If not available, tell user to install Python first.

Step 2: Install feedgrab

bash

pip install feedgrab[all]

This installs the full package with all optional dependencies (browser, stealth, Twitter, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Feishu, Telegram).

For a minimal install:

bash

pip install feedgrab                     # Core only (Jina fallback)
pip install feedgrab[browser]            # + Playwright
pip install feedgrab[twitter]            # + Twitter GraphQL
pip install feedgrab[stealth]            # + Anti-detection (patchright, curl_cffi)

After installation, verify:

bash

feedgrab --help

Step 3: Interactive Setup

bash

feedgrab setup

This runs a 5-step interactive wizard:

Output directory — where to save fetched content (default: ./output/)
Jina API — free, no key needed
YouTube API Key — optional, for YouTube search
GitHub Token — optional, for higher rate limits
Creates `.env` file with your configuration

Step 4: Platform Login (as needed)

For platforms requiring cookies/session:

bash

# Twitter/X — opens browser for login
feedgrab login twitter
 
# Xiaohongshu — opens browser for login
feedgrab login xhs
 
# WeChat MP backend — opens browser for login (session valid ~4 days)
feedgrab login wechat
 
# Feishu — opens browser for login
feedgrab login feishu
 
# Reddit — opens browser for login if Cloudflare/private content needs it
feedgrab login reddit
 
# LinuxDo / Discourse — opens browser for login
feedgrab login linuxdo
 
# IDCFlare / Discourse — opens browser for login
feedgrab login idcflare
 
# KDocs (金山文档) — opens browser for login
feedgrab login kdocs
 
# Zhihu (知乎) — opens browser for login
feedgrab login zhihu
 
# FlowUs (息流) — opens browser for login
feedgrab login flowus

Tip: If you have Chrome running with remote debugging enabled, set CHROME_CDP_LOGIN=true in .env to extract cookies from your existing browser session without re-login.

Step 5: Verify Installation

bash

# Full diagnostic
feedgrab doctor
 
# Platform-specific diagnostic
feedgrab doctor x          # Twitter/X
feedgrab doctor xhs        # Xiaohongshu
feedgrab doctor mpweixin   # WeChat
feedgrab doctor feishu     # Feishu
feedgrab doctor reddit     # Reddit

Step 6: Test

bash

# Test with a simple URL (no login needed)
feedgrab https://github.com/iBigQiang/feedgrab

If the output .md file is generated successfully, setup is complete!
