+# rss terminal
+
+## Purpose
+
+RSS Terminal exposes feed-style output for terminal or script use.
+
+Use it when a caller needs YaCy data as a feed rather than an HTML page.
+
+## What You Can Do Here
+
+- RSS Terminal exposes feed-style output for terminal or script use.
+- Send exact parameter names and encoded values rather than natural-language approximations.
+- Inspect the response format before using the endpoint in a larger tool chain.
+
+## Page Architecture
+
+This is a compact endpoint-style page. Its behavior is driven mainly by request parameters and the selected response template, so callers should send only the fields needed for the specific query or peer-service action.
+
+## Correct Use
+
+Call the endpoint as a protocol surface. Use exact parameter names and encoded values, authenticate when required, and inspect the response before relying on it. Avoid sending browser-only submit buttons unless the backend explicitly requires the action key.
+
+## Access And Safety
+
+The page is normally public or read-only, unless the peer is configured to require authentication for all pages.
+
+## Automation And API
+
+No matching Java servlet was found for this template.
+
+No request parameters are needed for normal use of this page.
+
+## What To Expect
+
+Expect a compact service response rather than a teaching interface. The response may be XML, RSS, JSON-like text, plain text, or a small HTML template depending on the endpoint.
+
+## Related Pages
+
+- Related protocol work usually continues through the calling tool, the peer endpoint family under `/yacy/`, or the API page that consumes this response.
