Pricing: $0.004 per feed checked (up to 200 items per feed, all quality rows and the summary included).
Feed-to-database pipelines break quietly. A feed changes its GUID format and your automation posts everything twice. A duplicate slips in from a second source feed. Dates arrive malformed, titles come through as "Untitled", one feed 404s for a week and nobody notices. This Actor sits in front of your ingestion and gives every item a verdict with evidence, before it reaches your dataset, n8n flow or database.
What gets flagged per item
duplicate- same article link seen from another feed or earlier in the run, with the source named induplicate_of(tracking parameters ignored)guid_drift- same article, but the feed changed its identity string since your last run. This is the #1 cause of duplicate triggers in IFTTT/Zapier/n8n pipelinesguid_collision- two different articles sharing one GUIDmissing_link,missing_title,placeholder_title("Untitled", "N/A", ...),truncated_titlemissing_date,malformed_date,future_date,implausibly_old_date
Per feed, a health record: OK, UNCHANGED (ETag/Last-Modified match, cheap re-runs), FETCH_ERROR or PARSE_ERROR, with item/clean/defect counts. The summary adds defect rate and per-defect totals across all feeds.
Input
RSS 2.0, Atom and RDF are supported. stateName selects the persisted state store: repeat runs reuse ETag/Last-Modified (unchanged feeds short-circuit) and compare GUIDs against the previous run to catch drift. Use a new name for a fresh baseline.
Honest limits
- Items are a bounded newest-item sample per feed (default and max 200), not full history.
- Items that fall out of a feed's rolling window are simply absent - never reported as deleted.
- Duplicates are detected within a run and via GUID state across runs; semantic near-duplicates (same story, different URL) are out of scope.
- Article links are not fetched or validated - pair with a link checker if you need that.
- Feeds must be publicly reachable; authenticated feeds are not supported.
Built for data engineers and automation builders running feed-to-database, monitoring and content-aggregation pipelines.
