Public RSS Feed Monitor – RSS and Atom feed scraper and export

Give it a list of public RSS 2.0 or Atom feed URLs and get back one clean row per feed entry. Each row has the title, link, summary, author, categories, publish time and the feed it came from, so columns stay the same across every feed.

You can keep only what matters with a keyword filter or an age filter. Schedule it to run every hour or every day and you build a running archive of new posts.

Why this one

• Works with both formats. It reads RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds and puts them into one layout, with feedFormat telling you which each was.
• Stable ids. Every record has an id built from the feed URL and the item's guid or link, so you can spot repeats across runs.
• Filters before you pay. The Keyword filter and Only items newer than (hours) settings drop unwanted items, and you are only charged for what is saved.
• Many feeds in one run. Add up to 20 feeds and pull up to 200 items from each.
• Failed feeds don't stop the run. A feed that errors is logged and skipped, and the other feeds still finish.
• Pay per result. $1.00 per 1,000 results, with no start fee, and runs with no results cost nothing.

Good to know

• Limits. Up to 20 feeds per run and 200 items per feed.
• Timeouts and size. Each request times out after 20 seconds, and responses over 5 MB are not accepted.
• Failed feeds. Feeds with a network error, a non-200 status or invalid XML are logged and skipped. The run fails only if every feed fails.
• Summaries. HTML is stripped and summaries are cut to 1,000 characters.
• Items without dates. The age filter keeps them.
• Data source. Only the public feed URLs you give it. No login is used.
• Publisher terms. Feed content belongs to its publishers, so check each publisher's terms of use.
• Not affiliated. This tool isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any feed publisher.

Getting the data out
