RSS Feed Scraper & Monitor - Any RSS or Atom Feed

Turn any RSS 2.0 or Atom feed into clean rows and watch it for new entries. News sites, blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, Reddit, GitHub releases, product changelogs, job boards: if it publishes a feed, this Actor reads it. Give the feed URL (or the page that links to it) and get one row per entry with title, link, author, date, plain-text summary, full HTML content, categories, image and attachment. Schedule it and new entries are flagged, ready for alerts, newsletters, dashboards or LLM pipelines, at $0.0002 per entry.

No browser, no login: the Actor downloads the feed and parses it, including the usual extensions (content:encoded, dc:creator, media, enclosures, iTunes tags).

What you get

Entry (one row each): id, title, link, author, publishedAt, updatedAt, summary (plain text, up to 2,000 characters), contentHtml, categories, image, enclosureUrl, enclosureType, and for podcast feeds durationSeconds, episode, season.

Feed on every row: feedUrl (the feed actually read), feedTitle, feedLink, format (rss or atom), language, position.

Changes on scheduled runs: isNew is true for entries that were not in the previous run of the same feed.

Feeds that cannot be read or pages without a feed return a row with an error field and are not charged.

How to use it

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add Feed URLs, one per line (up to 1,000 per run): https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml, https://www.reddit.com/r/python/.rss, https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC... or a site home page that announces its feed.
3. Set Max entries per feed.
4. Click Start and export the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel.
5. Schedule the Actor and use the new-entry events for alerts.
