About RSS API
What is RSS API?
RSS API is a hosted service that lets you subscribe to RSS, ATOM, RDF, and JSON feeds via a simple API. Instead of polling and parsing feeds yourself, you tell RSS API which feeds to check. It monitors them every few minutes and pushes new entries to your system via webhooks. The tool normalizes feed data from any format into a consistent JSON structure, so you can integrate feeds reliably into your software.
What problem does it solve?
Building and maintaining your own feed polling infrastructure is expensive and time-consuming. RSS API eliminates the need to manage servers, handle feed format differences, and keep polling logic up to date. It handles feed parsing, deduplication, and delivery so developers can focus on their core product instead of feed management.
Who is it for (and who is it not for)?
RSS API is built for developers and SaaS teams building news aggregators, feed readers, content monitoring tools, or any application that needs to consume feed content in near real-time. It is not a consumer RSS reader or a replacement for a full feed management platform with human-friendly UI. It is best for those comfortable with APIs and webhooks who want to get started in minutes.
Real use cases
Use it for powering RSS integrations in social media schedulers (like Publer), tracking competitor blog updates, monitoring news feeds for alerts, building personal news dashboards, or adding feed import features to your app. The dashboard gives detailed statistics, webhook logs, and debugging tools to track delivery.
