# Read the latest posts from NASA and Apify blog RSS feeds

**Use case:** 

Reads two public RSS feeds (NASA news releases and the Apify blog) and returns their latest items as clean rows: title, link, date, author and summary. Turn on 'Only new items' and add a schedule to monitor feeds.

## Input

```json
{
  "feedUrls": [
    "https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/feed/",
    "https://blog.apify.com/rss/"
  ],
  "maxItemsPerFeed": 20,
  "onlyNewItems": false,
  "stateStoreName": "rss-feed-reader-state",
  "includeContent": false,
  "maxSummaryLength": 1000,
  "requestIntervalSecs": 1,
  "maxConcurrency": 10
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "published": {
    "label": "Published",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "title": {
    "label": "Title",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "link": {
    "label": "Link",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "feedTitle": {
    "label": "Feed",

  },
  "author": {
    "label": "Author",
    "format": "string"

```

## About this Actor

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/phaux/rss-feed-reader.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
