[rssfind.py](https://github.com/adulau/rss-tools/blob/master/bin/rsscluster.py) is a simple script designed to discover RSS or Atom feeds from a given URL.
It employs two techniques:
- The first involves searching for direct link references to the feed within the HTML page.
- The second uses a brute-force approach, trying a series of known paths for feeds to determine if they are valid RSS or Atom feeds.
The script returns an array in JSON format containing all the potential feeds it discovers.
