# Find RSS Feeds from Website URLs

**Use case:** 

Find a declared feed from a public website homepage and parse its latest entries. Replace the sample homepage and external ID. The Actor selects one feed declared in the HTML head, preferring RSS, then Atom, then JSON Feed; it does not crawl the website. The feed status view shows discovery results; the items view shows entries.

## Input

```json
{
  "feeds": [
    {
      "url": "https://blog.apify.com",
      "externalId": "sample-blog"
    }
  ],
  "mode": "snapshot",
  "outputMode": "all",
  "maxItemsPerFeed": 10,
  "discoverFeedFromWebsite": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json

  "record_type": {
    "label": "Type",
    "format": "string"
  },

    "label": "Status",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [RSS Feed Scraper API & Incremental Monitor](https://apify.com/automa-flow/rss-feed-monitor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/automa-flow/rss-feed-monitor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
