RSS Feed Reader & Scraper (Free): Feeds to JSON, CSV & Alerts

Free RSS feed reader: read any RSS, Atom or JSON feed, or just give a website address and its feed is found for you. Get titles, links, dates, authors, summaries, images and categories in a clean table, filter by keyword and date, and receive only new items on each scheduled run. No Actor fee: you only pay the tiny Apify platform usage (a run of 8 sites cost $0.0001 in our test).

• 🔎 Feed discovery: give lemonde.fr, spiegel.de or techcrunch.com; the Actor reads the page, finds the announced feed (or tries the usual addresses such as /feed and /rss.xml) and reads it.
• 📰 Every format: RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 (RDF), Atom and JSON Feed, with HTML cleaned out of summaries.
• 🧹 One clean table: title, URL, publication date (ISO), author, summary, categories, main image, feed title.
• 🔑 Keyword and date filters: keep only items about your brand, your competitors or your topic, from the last N days.
• 🔔 Only new items: give a monitor name and schedule the Actor; each run returns only what was not seen before. Connect it to Slack, email, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or n8n for news alerts.
• ⚡ Fast and light: up to 2,000 feeds per run, 8 at a time; a run of a few feeds takes seconds.

🚀 Examples

Latest news from several sites (feeds found automatically):

{
  "urls": ["lemonde.fr", "spiegel.de", "techcrunch.com", "https://news.ycombinator.com"],
  "maxItemsPerFeed": 20
}

Brand monitoring, only new mentions, every hour:

{
  "urls": ["https://techcrunch.com", "https://www.theverge.com", "https://www.wired.com"],
  "keywords": ["openai", "anthropic", "mistral"],
  "monitorName": "ai-news"
}

📦 Output

One row per item. From a real run of 14 October 2026:

{
  "type": "item",
  "title": "NASA to Discuss Artemis Acceleration, Status of Upcoming Moon Missions",
  "url": "https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-discuss-artemis-acceleration-status-of-upcoming-moon-missions/",
  "publishedAt": "2026-10-14T13:32:25.000Z",
  "author": "Gerelle Q. Dodson",
  "summary": "As the Artemis II crew members came close to passing behind the Moon…",
  "categories": [],
  "feedTitle": "NASA",
  "feedUrl": "https://www.nasa.gov/feed/",
  "feedFormat": "rss",
  "inputUrl": "https://www.nasa.gov"
}

When no feed can be found, a row with type: "error" tells you which address failed and why.

💰 Price

Free. This Actor charges no fee. Apify bills only the platform usage of your run, a fraction of a cent for a few dozen feeds. The Apify free plan includes monthly credit.

❓ FAQ

A website has no feed. What can I do? Most news sites, blogs, WordPress and Substack sites publish one. If none is announced, the Actor returns an error row for that site.

Some sites block the Apify servers (Reddit, for example). Turn on Apify Proxy in the Proxy option.

How does “only new items” work? The Actor remembers the items it returned for a monitor name (up to 50,000) in your Apify account. Use one monitor name per alert.

Can I get the full article text? Feeds contain a summary or the start of the article. For full text, pass the URLs to a website content crawler.
