# Bridge API

April 14, 2023 at 12:32 PM Edit on GitHub

A Bridge is an class that allows RSS-Bridge to create an RSS-feed from a website. A Bridge represents one element on the Welcome screen and covers one or more sites to return feeds for. It is developed in a PHP file located in the `bridges/` folder (see Folder structure) and extends one of the base classes of RSS-Bridge:

Base class | Description
--- | ---
`BridgeAbstract` | This class is intended for standard Bridges that need to filter HTML pages for content.
`FeedExpander` | This class is an extension of `HttpCachingBridgeAbstract`, designed to load existing feeds into RSS-Bridge
`XPathAbstract` | This class is meant as an alternative base class for bridge implementations. It offers preliminary functionality for generating feeds based on XPath expressions.
