RSS Feed Reader: RSS & Atom to JSON, Bulk, $1/1K

This RSS feed reader turns any list of RSS and Atom feeds into clean rows, one per item, with title, link, publication date, summary, categories, image and attached file. It is an RSS to JSON converter that also exports CSV or Excel, so you can follow news sites, blogs, podcasts, release notes and job feeds from one place.

Cost: $0.001 per item ($1 per 1,000). Feeds that cannot be read, addresses that are not feeds, and invalid entries are free. No login or API key.

How to convert RSS feeds to JSON

1. Paste feed addresses into Feed URLs, one per line.
2. Set Items per feed and, if you want, Published since (a date or a period such as 7 days).
3. Turn on Include full content if you need the whole text of each item.
4. Click Start, then open the Feed items table or download the rows.

It reads RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 and Atom, with dates normalized to ISO 8601, HTML stripped from summaries, and relative links made absolute. Items come newest first. The form opens with NASA's news feed and the GOV.UK news feed, 5 items each, and costs about one cent. Use it for news and content monitoring on a schedule, to feed Make, Zapier, n8n or a Slack channel through the Apify API, or to collect titles, links and summaries as JSON for an AI agent or an index.

How much does the RSS feed reader cost?

Event	Price
Feed item (feed-item)	$0.001 ($1 per 1,000)
Feed that cannot be read, not a feed, or invalid address	Free

Apify adds only its small standard fee per run start. You can set a spending limit on any run, and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Example: you follow 40 feeds daily and get 25 new items from each, so 1,000 items a day cost $1.00, about $30 a month.

Input

{
  "feedUrls": [
    "https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/",
    "https://www.gov.uk/search/news-and-communications.atom"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerFeed": 5
}

Output

One row per result:

{
  "feedUrl": "https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/",
  "feedTitle": "NASA",
  "title": "Uncovering the Valleys Hidden Below Greenland's Ice",
  "url": "https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/uncovering-the-valleys-hidden-below-greenlands-ice/",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-28T04:00:00.000Z",
  "summary": "Greenland is capped with a vast ice sheet ...",
  "categories": [
    "Earth"
  ],
  "status": "ok",
  "charged": true
}

status is ok for items, which are charged. A feed that cannot be read gives one free row with feed_error, not_a_feed, robots_disallowed or not_found and the reason in error. A STATS record in the key-value store counts items, free rows and requests.
