Fox News — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the foxnews-pp-cli binary. Verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command.

Install via the Printing Press installer:

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install foxnews --cli-only

Verify: foxnews-pp-cli --version
Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.

If --version reports "command not found", fix $PATH before running skill commands.

When to Use This CLI

Use for read-only Fox News headline lists from official Google Publisher RSS feeds. One bounded JSON call per section — no API key, no HTML parsing.

Default section latest = all-topic headline mix
Use --section for world, politics, science, health, sports, travel, tech, opinion, or video

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not use for posting, commenting, paywalled article bodies, live TV listings, or non-Fox data sources. This CLI only reads the RSS feeds listed below.

Not the Drudge Report CLI

This is not drudgereport-pp-cli. These commands do not exist here:

which, sync, splash, breaking, tail, tenure, sources, on-date, bent, story, digest

For Fox News, use:

sections — list valid --section ids (default feed is latest)
headlines — fetch headlines for one section
agent-context — runtime JSON catalog of commands, sections, and defaults
doctor — RSS connectivity check

RSS sections

Section	CLI `--section`	Feed URL
Latest (default)	`latest`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/latest.xml
World	`world`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/world.xml
Politics	`politics`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/politics.xml
Science	`science`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/science.xml
Health	`health`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/health.xml
Sports	`sports`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/sports.xml
Travel	`travel`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/travel.xml
Tech	`tech`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/tech.xml
Opinion	`opinion`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/opinion.xml
Video	`video`	https://moxie.foxnews.com/google-publisher/videos.xml

Run foxnews-pp-cli sections --json for the machine-readable list.

Commands

`headlines`

Fetch headlines for a section (default latest).

foxnews-pp-cli headlines --json
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section politics --limit 10 --json --select title,link,published
foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section sports --agent

`sections`

List valid --section values.

foxnews-pp-cli sections --json

`agent-context`

Emit structured JSON for agents (commands, sections, default_section: latest, and explicit not_available list).

foxnews-pp-cli agent-context --pretty

`doctor`

Probe the latest feed (connectivity smoke test).

foxnews-pp-cli doctor --json

Recipes

Politics briefing

foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section politics --limit 10 --agent --select title,link

Discover sections at runtime

foxnews-pp-cli agent-context | jq '.default_section, .sections[].id'

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run foxnews-pp-cli doctor to verify RSS connectivity.

Output defaults

Matches other Printing Press CLIs (e.g. drudgereport, hackernews):

Piped stdout (agent/bash tools): JSON automatically — no --json required
Interactive terminal: plain table unless you pass --json or --agent

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
Compact — keeps title, link, published, section on headlines (drops categories, description, guid unless --select overrides)
Filterable — --select wins over --compact for explicit field lists
Previewable — --dry-run validates flags without fetching
Read-only — never mutates remote state

Response envelope

Machine JSON wraps data like Drudge store-backed reads:

{
  "meta": {"source": "live", "feed_url": "...", "section": "latest", "count": 10},
  "results": [ {"title": "...", "link": "...", "published": "...", "section": "latest"} ]
}

Parse .results for rows and .meta.source / .meta.feed_url for provenance. sections uses "source": "catalog"; doctor returns a status object in results.

foxnews-pp-cli headlines --section latest --limit 10 --agent
