RSS Feed Reader: RSS, Atom & JSON Feeds

RSS Feed Reader turns any number of RSS, Atom, RSS 1.0 and JSON feeds into one clean table: title, link, publication date, summary, categories, image and attached files such as podcast audio. Paste feed links, or just website links: the tool finds the feed the site advertises. Filter by keyword and date, and download the items as CSV, Excel or JSON for news monitoring, content curation, newsletters, competitor tracking or podcast research.

What can this tool do?

• Read many feeds in one run and get a single, consistent table, whatever the feed format (RSS 2.0, Atom, RSS 1.0/RDF, JSON Feed).
• Find the feed for a website automatically: it follows the feed link the page advertises, or tries common paths such as /feed and /rss.xml.
• Keep only the items you care about with keyword and "published within N days" filters.
• Return podcast episodes with the audio file link, file type, size and duration.
• Optionally include the full article text when the feed carries it, as plain text.
• Handle very large feeds (podcast feeds of 20 MB) by reading only the newest items you ask for.

What data does it return?

One row per feed item. Example values from a real run:

Field	Example
feedUrl	https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml
feedTitle	BBC News

enclosureUrl, enclosureType, enclosureBytes	audio link, audio/mpeg, 22997533 (podcasts)

• Missing values are null, so every row has the same fields. Dates are converted to UTC ISO format.
• Author and creator fields are not returned, and personal email addresses inside summaries and content are replaced with "[email removed]".
• The summary is the feed's description as plain text (up to 1,000 characters). Feeds differ: some carry only a teaser, some the whole article.

How to use it

1. Paste feed links or website links, one per line.
2. Optionally set the maximum items per feed, keywords, and how recent items must be.
3. Click Start, then download the items as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read them through the API. Schedule the run to check feeds every hour or day.

Pricing

Pay per item: $1.00 per 1,000 items, plus $0.005 per run. You only pay for items you receive. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

Use it through the API, AI agents, and integrations

Schedule it, call it from your code with the Apify API, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Google Sheets or an AI agent through Apify's MCP server.

Is it legal?

This tool reads feeds that websites publish for exactly this purpose. It does not log in or bypass access controls. Feed items are the publisher's content: use headlines, summaries and links according to the publisher's terms and copyright. Names of authors are not collected. You are responsible for how you use the data.

FAQ

Why was a website skipped? It may not offer a feed, or block automated requests (some large news sites answer HTTP 403). Paste the direct feed link if you know it.

How many items are in a feed? Whatever the publisher lists, usually the latest 10 to 100. Feeds do not offer history: schedule the tool to build your own archive.

Does it remove duplicates? The same feed listed twice is read once. Items keep their itemId so you can de-duplicate across runs.
