Parse any RSS or Atom feed into clean structured JSON — title, link, author, date, categories, content, and media enclosures. Handles both formats automatically, even when servers send the wrong content-type. No API key.

🎯 What it does

  • Reads RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds (auto-detected)
  • Extracts: title, link, author, publish date, summary, full content (HTML), categories/tags
  • Captures media enclosures (podcast audio, images)
  • Feed-level metadata (feed title + description)
  • Handles blogs, news sites, podcasts, YouTube channel feeds, Reddit, GitHub releases, and more

💡 Use cases

  • Content aggregation — combine many feeds into one dataset
  • Blog / news monitoring — track new posts from sources you follow
  • Podcast indexing — extract episodes + audio URLs
  • Newsletter automation — build digests on a schedule
  • RSS-to-anything pipelines — feed into databases, Slack, LLMs
  • Competitive monitoring — watch competitors' blogs

⚡ Performance

HTTP-based XML parsing — no browser, no API key. Parses many feeds in parallel, each in ~0.5s. Robust fallback handles feeds served with incorrect content-types.

🔗 Tip

Run on a schedule to build a continuous content-monitoring pipeline. Pair with the Currency or News scrapers for a full data-automation stack.
