RSS Feed Reader with Full Article Text

Parse any RSS or Atom feed into clean, structured JSON — and optionally follow each item's link to extract the complete article text, not just the truncated summary most feeds give you.

• Any feed: RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom — malformed feeds handled gracefully
• Full-text mode: each item's link is fetched and the main article body extracted (boilerplate, nav, and ads stripped) — perfect for LLM summarization, monitoring, or archiving
• Filters: newest-first cap per feed, "only items newer than N hours" for scheduled monitoring
• Honest pricing: unreachable feeds and failed extractions are free

Input

{
    "feedUrls": ["https://news.ycombinator.com/rss"],
    "maxItemsPerFeed": 20,
    "sinceHours": 24,
    "fullText": true
}

Output (one dataset item per feed entry)

{
    "feed": "https://blog.example.com/rss",
    "feed_title": "Example Blog",
    "title": "We raised a Series B",
    "link": "https://blog.example.com/series-b",
    "published": "Mon, 10 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT",
    "published_ts": 1786698000,
    "author": "Jane Doe",
    "summary": "Today we're announcing…",
    "tags": ["funding", "company"],
    "full_text": "Today we're announcing our Series B…",
    "word_count": 1240
}

Pricing

Two events, both only on success:

• feed-parsed — once per feed that parses correctly
• article-fulltext — once per article whose full text was actually extracted (only when fullText is on)

Dead feeds, fetch errors, and pages with no extractable text cost nothing.

Typical setups

• News monitoring: run on an Apify Schedule with sinceHours matching your interval → only fresh items, delivered to dataset/webhook
• LLM digests: fullText: true → pipe complete articles into your summarizer instead of 200-character teasers
• Content aggregation: merge dozens of feeds into one clean dataset with consistent fields

Works with AI agents

Exposed via Apify's MCP server: an agent can ask "what's new in these feeds since yesterday — with full text" and get everything in one structured response.
