RSS/Atom Feed Audit

Feed discovery, validity, and freshness for any site: feeds declared in the HTML head and at common paths, XML parsed as RSS or Atom, item counts, newest-item age, empty-title hygiene, and whether readers can auto-discover the feed at all. Charged only on completed audits.

Is the feed alive, valid, and findable? One call answers all three: feeds discovered the way readers discover them (HTML head declaration first, common paths second), parsed as RSS or Atom, item counts and newest-item age computed, and hygiene issues flagged — including the quiet failure where a working feed exists but nothing declares it, so no reader ever finds it.

Output

{
"site": "https://example.com",
"feeds_found": 2,
"feeds_valid": 2,
"auto_discoverable": true,
"newest_item_age_days": 3.6,
"fixes": ["https://example.com/comments/feed/: feed has zero items"]
}

Plus one row per feed: how it was found, RSS or Atom, validity, item count, freshness, issues.

Use cases

  • Content operations: a stale feed silently kills newsletter automations and syndication; schedule this and alert when newest-item age jumps.
  • Podcast and blog networks: sweep every property's feeds in one workflow.
  • Agents consuming feeds: validate a feed before wiring an automation to it.

Honesty notes

  • A handful of polite GETs (homepage plus up to four feeds); nothing else touched.
  • "No feed found" is a completed audit and is charged (that is the finding); an unreachable site is not.
