Fetch and parse any RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0 or RSS 1.0 (RDF) feed into clean, structured JSON: title, link, description, full HTML content, publication date (normalized to ISO 8601), author, categories, GUID and lead image. Handles CDATA, HTML entities, content:encoded, dc:creator, media:content and enclosures. This actor is free — you only pay your own Apify platform usage.
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
feedUrls | array | — | One feed URL per line. |
maxItemsPerFeed | integer | 50 | Max articles extracted per feed (1–1000). |
includeContent | boolean | true | Include full HTML content when the feed provides it. |
Output
One dataset item per article:
{"feedUrl": "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml","feedTitle": "BBC News","feedType": "rss","status": "found","title": "Example headline","link": "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/xyz","description": "Short summary of the article...","content": "<p>Full HTML content when provided...</p>","publishedAt": "2026-07-11T08:15:00.000Z","author": "BBC Newsroom","categories": ["World"],"guid": "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/xyz#0","imageUrl": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/....jpg"}
Feeds that fail to load push a single status: "error" item with the message; feeds with no items push status: "not_found". One bad feed never crashes the run.
Use cases
- Monitor dozens of news sources or competitor blogs on a schedule.
- Aggregate content for newsletters, dashboards or content pipelines.
- Feed LLM/RAG systems with fresh, structured articles.
- Archive feeds into datasets exportable as JSON, CSV or Excel.
Limitations & fair use
- The feed must be publicly accessible (no cookies/auth).
- JavaScript-generated "feeds" are not supported — this parses real XML feeds.
- Be considerate with scheduling frequency toward small publishers.
