RSS & Atom Feed Reader with New-Items Monitor

Turn any RSS, Atom, RDF or JSON Feed into clean, structured JSON — and get only what's new on every scheduled run. Paste feed URLs, or just a website/blog/news URL: the Actor auto-discovers the feed, parses it, normalizes dates to ISO 8601, and outputs one row per item with title, link, date, author, categories, summary, image, and podcast enclosure.

$0.30 per 1,000 items. No start fee. Feeds that fail are free.

Why use it?

• 📰 News & content monitoring — track competitors' blogs, industry news, press releases, changelogs, job feeds
• 🔔 Alerts — schedule it every 15 minutes with Only new items, then connect Slack, email, Make, Zapier or n8n
• 🤖 AI pipelines — feed fresh articles into summarizers, newsletters or RAG indexes
• 🎙️ Podcasts — episode titles, dates, durations and audio enclosure URLs

Features

• Supports RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 (RDF), Atom and JSON Feed
• Feed auto-discovery from any web page (<link rel="alternate">, then /feed, /rss.xml, /atom.xml, /index.xml…)
• New-items-only mode remembers what was already returned per feed (named state store, so multiple monitors don't collide)
• Filters: keywords, exclude keywords, published within N days, max items per feed
• Optional full content HTML (content:encoded / Atom content)
• Podcast fields: enclosure URL/type/size, iTunes duration and image

Pricing

Event	Price	When
Feed item	$0.0003 ($0.30 / 1,000 items)	Each item saved after filters
Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run

Filtered-out items, already-seen items (new-items mode) and failed feeds cost nothing. Example: monitoring 50 feeds every hour with ~2 new items per feed per day ≈ 3,000 items/month ≈ $0.90/month plus tiny start fees.

FAQ

How do I get alerts? Enable Only new items, create a Schedule (e.g. every 30 minutes) and add an integration (Slack, email, webhook) on the Actor run.

Can I monitor several groups of feeds separately? Yes — use a different State store name for each task.

Can it read feeds behind a login? No, only publicly accessible feeds.

What if a site has no feed? You'll get a free error row. Try the Website to Markdown Crawler or a sitemap tool instead.
