What is an RSS feed?

This article will help you understand more about RSS feeds and how to get them for using in our Auto Import feature

An RSS feed is a computer parsable representation of a website or blog. In other words, the formatting is stripped from a website and just the meat of it is written to a feed. This makes it easier for computers to make sense of rich data to do things such as recommend news articles or create new content items for you.


How Do I Find My RSS Feed


Medium

Prepend 'feed' to your favorite author's Medium username in the URL. For example:


https://medium.com/feed/@rborn92

Or if you want to get the feed for a publication such as Hacker Noon, append 'feed' to their domain:


https://hackernoon.com/feed


Wordpress

Similarly, append 'feed' to blogs with custom domain names:


https://blog.cloudcampaign.io/feed


Squarespace

Open the Squarespace page you want the feed for and append '?format=rss' or manually enter the page slug:


http://sitename.squarespace.com/pageslug?format=rss


YouTube

Visit your YouTube channel and copy the Channel ID from the URL.
