Web data feeds

Web data feeds collect source-stated data from public or authenticated pages on a Portal-selected schedule. Results are stored, so reading one through MCP never launches a live scrape. A failed collection keeps the last successful result available.

Creation and management are intentionally Portal-only. Sign in to Equibles, open Dashboard → Web Data Feeds, and describe the exact URLs, fields, read-only navigation, and collection schedule there. Equibles generates the initial name; the page lets you rename, reschedule, pause, resume, or delete the feed afterward. MCP and the REST API can only read what the Portal created.

This feature is available on Pro. An account may keep five web data feeds. Creating one in the Portal spends five ALVIS credits from the weekly allowance; scheduled collections do not spend generation credits. The fastest schedule is every four hours.

Each feed retains at most 12 months, the newest 4,000 collection observations, and 20 MB. Oldest observations are removed first. Deleting a feed permanently deletes its retained history.

The generated plan is bounded JSON data, not executable code. It may click safe navigation links, wait for content, scroll, and follow bounded pagination. It cannot install packages, run scripts, upload, pay, perform destructive actions, submit arbitrary forms, read Equibles files or databases, or reach private network addresses.

For a subscription site, create a Site connection from the Web Data Feeds page. Enter the website where sign-in starts; Equibles can open a same-site sign-in page or modal and discover its form action. Credentials are encrypted and never enter an MCP call or generated plan. Each new connection is restricted to one exact host; cross-domain SSO, MFA, CAPTCHA, payments, uploads, destructive actions, and unsupported login flows stop the run.

ListWebDataFeeds

Lists the caller's web data feeds with their identifiers, active or paused state, schedule, next collection, and latest run status. It does not execute or change anything. When the account has none, its answer directs the user to Dashboard → Web Data Feeds.

Parameters: none.

Ask: "List my web data feeds."

Returns:

No web data feeds exist in this account. To create one, open Dashboard → Web Data Feeds at https://www.equibles.com/WebDataFeeds.

GetWebDataFeed

Reads the latest independently verified successful result and its captured source URLs by default. Supply capturedAtOrBefore to read the newest retained verified capture completed at or before that instant. A newer failed collection does not replace the last good result, and this call never contacts the source website. Its instructions direct creation and management back to Dashboard → Web Data Feeds.

Parameters: dataFeed (required; exact feed name or full identifier from ListWebDataFeeds); capturedAtOrBefore (optional ISO-8601 timestamp, for example 2026-08-31T18:00:00Z).

Ask: "Show the latest data from my SEC daily filing index web data feed."

Returns:

That web data feed was not found in this account. List the account's feeds with ListWebDataFeeds.
