RSS Feed Scraper & RSS to JSON Converter

Turn any RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed URL into clean JSON and a spreadsheet-friendly table. Paste one or more feed links, run the Actor, and download results — no API keys for public feeds.

Pricing

• $0.002 per feed entry saved to the dataset, plus the automatic $0.00005 Actor start event.
• Example: a 50-entry feed costs $0.10005.
• The price applies only to entries successfully saved to the default dataset.

Quick start

1. Add your feed URL(s) in Feed URLs (one per line).
2. Click Start.
3. Open the Output tab:
   • Full feed JSON — complete feed with all entries (ideal for APIs and “RSS to JSON” workflows).
   • Feed entries — one row per article, episode, or post (export to CSV/Excel).

Example input

{
  "feedUrls": [
    "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml",
    "https://hnrss.org/frontpage"
  ]
}

What you get

Output	Best for
OUTPUT (JSON file)	Apps, webhooks, n8n, Make, custom scripts — full feed structure in one file
Dataset (table)	Spreadsheets, monitoring, filtering by title/date/link

Each dataset row includes the entry fields (title, link, published, …) plus feed context (feedTitle, feedUrl).

Example output

{
  "feedUrl": "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml",
  "feedTitle": "BBC News",
  "title": "Example headline",
  "link": "https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/example",
  "published": "2026-05-22T10:00:00.000Z"
}

When several feeds are supplied, a temporarily unavailable feed is reported in the OUTPUT errors list and the unbillable sourceResults dataset while successful feeds still produce dataset rows. The run fails only when none of the supplied feeds can be read. A readable feed with zero entries remains a successful conversion with billableEntries: 0; it does not create or charge a synthetic feed-entry row.

Input

Field	Required	Description
Feed URLs	Yes	One or more RSS/Atom/JSON Feed URLs (up to 50 per run)
Normalize fields	No	Consistent output across feed types (default: on)
ISO date format	No	ISO-8601 dates (default: on)
Max description length	No	Truncate long HTML (default: 250; use 0 for full text)
Base URL	No	Only if relative links in the feed are not resolved
User-Agent / headers	No	Only if the feed blocks default requests

Use cases

• RSS to JSON — Convert feeds for apps, RAG pipelines, or databases
• News & blogs — Monitor multiple sites in one run
• Podcasts — Extract episodes and metadata from podcast RSS
• Automation — Schedule runs and connect via Apify API, webhooks, or integrations
• Content pipelines — Pair with Article Extractor for feed-to-full-text workflows or News Source Crawler for site-wide monitoring

Notes

• Parses feed URLs you provide; it does not discover feeds from a website homepage.
• Some feeds omit fields (e.g. published); output reflects what the source provides.
• Older integrations can still pass a single url field instead of feedUrls.
