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 url or a list of urls
  • 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.
