# Convert RSS and Atom feeds to JSON

**Use case:** 

Give one or more RSS or Atom feed URLs and get every item as a clean JSON row: title, link, publish date, author, summary and categories. Filter by keyword or date to monitor news, blogs and release notes, or feed the rows into a spreadsheet or AI pipeline.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.nasa.gov/feed/",
    "https://blog.apify.com/rss/"
  ],
  "maxResults": 25,
  "keyword": "",
  "delayMillis": 1000,
  "maxResponseMb": 5,
  "since": ""
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "feedUrl": {
    "label": "feedUrl",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "feedTitle": {
    "label": "feedTitle",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "guid": {
    "label": "guid",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "title",

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/ahmed.fouaad82/rss-feed-reader.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
