2024-08-16 Update: in the most meta of meta circumstances this post itself is on Kagi’s feed: https://reader.miniflux.app/share/2653120942386c74541e48cb788c632eaf0d9372

Here’s the background on the why for all this: I wanted to subscribe to the RSS feed1 for Kagi’s Small Web but by default it’s way too big for my RSS reader (Miniflux) to handle. It clocks in at about 25MiB.

As a quick aside: if you’re unfamiliar with the “ small web” it typically refers to non-commercial websites created by individual humans who do it because they can and want to, not for any financial gain. It typically invokes nostalgia of the early Internet days before advertising was wide spread. Grassroots. Community. In particular, emphasizing unity in community.

Kagi lists this on their API docs but unfortunately I couldn’t find an obvious way to provide any sort of pagination as part of the request. So, it becomes a quickie DIY project.
