How to Turn Conversion Results into Stable Subscription Links

Three endpoints, three different jobs

The site exposes multiple subscription-related entries, but each solves a different problem. Once you separate them, maintenance becomes much easier.

convert

convert is the subscription generator page. It is where you tune target platform, source links, and conversion options.

/sub

/sub is the real dynamic output endpoint. It generates subscription content from query parameters and is suitable for direct client use.

/dynamic

/dynamic is the fixed-address mode for long-term distribution. It lets you hide unstable upstream details behind a stable path plus security token.

Recommended usage

Case 1: temporary testing

Start from convert when you only need to test a rule or parameter combination.

Case 2: the parameter set is already stable

Once the query is confirmed, move to /sub so the client pulls from a real output layer instead of copying page results by hand.

Case 3: you want to share a long-lived address

If the address will be shared with yourself, users, or a team, move to Dynamic Subscription Manager and issue a fixed /dynamic endpoint. Then upstream changes, custom User-Agent values, and manual nodes can all be maintained without changing the public link.

Why temporary conversion output should not become your long-term endpoint

Most subscription maintenance cost comes from treating temporary output like production output. Typical failures include:

• old query strings scattered across chat history
• every upstream change requiring a new broadcast
• custom headers and multiple sources becoming hard to manage
• no clean way to track which stable endpoint is being used

Fixed /dynamic addresses keep unstable upstream changes inside your own control plane.

A practical migration path

1. validate the parameter set in convert
2. test the generated /sub output with a client
3. move to Dynamic Subscription Manager
4. merge multiple sources, custom User-Agent values, and manual nodes into /dynamic
5. distribute only the fixed endpoint

Example: the source changed, but the client still shows old nodes

1. Open Dynamic Subscription Manager, find the subscription used by the client, update its upstream source and save.
2. Copy its existing fixed address and compare it with the address stored in the client, making sure you edited the right subscription.
3. Refresh the subscription manually in the client. Check whether the node names or count match the new source.
4. If old content remains, inspect the refresh time and error log. Check upstream availability, response format and caching.

A fixed address reduces the need to redistribute links, but clients still need to refresh to receive changes. Treat security parameters in the subscription URL as credentials.

Recommended Tools and Follow-Up Reading

• Validate parameters in Dynamic Subscription Convert, then move into Dynamic Subscription Manager for a stable endpoint.
• If you still need to normalize the source nodes themselves, go back to Node Convert.
