RSS and Atom feed to JSON API

Turn any RSS, Atom or JSON Feed into one clean JSON schema, or give a normal web page and let the feed be discovered. Pay per feed.

Feeds come as RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom and JSON Feed, each with its own quirks. The call returns one schema for all of them: feed title, link and language, then items with an id, title, URL, ISO published and updated dates, summary, categories and enclosure.

Give a feed URL or an ordinary web page; if it is a page, the feed is discovered from its link tags. Author names are not returned.

The calls

Each call returns 402 with the price until a payment is attached; an x402 client pays and retries automatically. Calls that fail are not charged. See Get started and the guide for bots and agents for code.
