RSS Feed Reader: RSS, Atom & JSON Feed URLs to JSON, pay per feed

Read up to 200 feeds per run (RSS 0.9x/1.0/2.0, Atom 1.0 and JSON Feed 1.x) into one clean, consistent item list. $0.002 per successfully parsed feed, no start fee. Ideal for news monitoring, content aggregation, alerts, AI/RAG pipelines, and scheduled "what's new" digests via Apify schedules and integrations.

Use cases

• News and competitor monitoring on a schedule (pair publishedAfter with an Apify schedule)
• Content aggregation and "what's new" digests
• Building AI/RAG pipelines over blogs, news sites and podcasts
• Normalizing mixed RSS/Atom/JSON Feed sources into one item schema

What you get (one dataset item per feed entry)

feedUrl, feedTitle, id (stable hash), title, link, guid, published and updated (ISO 8601, UTC), author, categories[], summary (clean text, HTML removed), and enclosures[] (podcast/media files).

• Items are newest first within each feed, and duplicates are removed.
• Only new items: set publishedAfter (e.g. 2026-09-01) and run it on a schedule.
• A per-feed report (key-value store record REPORT) gives each feed's status, title, format and item count.

Pricing: pay per feed that worked

One event per successfully parsed feed ($0.002), no matter how many items it contains (up to your limit). URLs that fail to download or aren't feeds (e.g. a normal web page) are reported but never charged. There is no start fee. The run checks your spending limit before each feed.

Limits

• Max 200 feed URLs per run, up to 1,000 items per feed (default 100), and 10 MB per feed.
• The URL must be the feed itself (e.g. https://example.com/feed.xml). This Actor does not scrape web pages or discover feeds.
• Public http(s) links only; local and private-network addresses are refused.
