RSS Feed Scraper: Auto-Discover Feeds + Full Article Text

Read RSS, Atom and JSON feeds from any feed URL, or just paste a website URL and the feed is found automatically. Every item comes as a clean row, and you can also get the full text of each article, not only the short feed summary.

No login, no API key and no browser: the Actor reads the data directly, which makes it fast and cheap. Proxies are included in the price.

What can you use it for?

• News & blog monitoring: schedule it daily with "Only items newer than" and get new posts only.
• Content aggregation: build a newsletter, digest or dashboard from many sources.
• AI & RAG: feed full article text into LLMs.
• Competitor tracking: follow competitor blogs and changelogs.
• Automations: send new items to Slack, Sheets or email with Zapier, Make or n8n.

Inputs that cannot be scraped (wrong URL, not found, blocked) get a free row with status and error, so you always know what happened. A run summary is saved to the key-value store as SUMMARY.

Pricing

You pay per feed item saved. Proxies and compute are included. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

FAQ

What if a site has no feed? You get a free row with status not_found. The Actor checks link tags and common paths like /feed and /rss.xml.

How is full text charged? Each item is one event; when Include full article text is on, items with extracted text add one Article text event.

Can I monitor feeds? Yes: schedule the Actor and set Only items newer than to the last run date.

Can I call it from code or an AI agent? Yes, via the Apify API, the official JS/Python clients, or Apify's MCP server.
