RSS Feed Monitor & Alerts
Turn RSS and Atom feeds into a lightweight competitor, news, and product-intelligence feed. The Actor remembers seen entries between runs and emits structured alerts only for new items.
Buyer outcome: replace manual feed checking with scheduled, deduplicated data that can flow into a dataset, webhook pipeline, or internal research workflow.
What it does
- monitors one or more RSS/Atom feeds
- tracks seen entries across runs using Apify Key-Value Store
- emits only newly discovered entries after the baseline
- supports a single
urlor a list ofurls - writes a summary row for easy automation
Good use cases
- niche blog monitoring
- competitor content monitoring
- news and research alerts
- podcast or changelog tracking
- product announcement feeds
Input example
{"urls": ["https://example.com/feed.xml","https://example.com/blog/rss.xml"],"emit_initial_items": true,"max_items": 200}
Output
The dataset contains feed item rows plus a summary row.
Local development
$apify run
Deploy
$apify push
Notes
Use this Actor responsibly and only on feeds you are allowed to monitor. Pricing is designed for recurring monitoring rather than a large one-time crawl.
