The best free RSS feeds
A common question is whether these feeds cost anything: they don't. Every single feed listed above is published for free by its publisher — the same is true for the alternative feeds linked from each section. That's one of the big strengths of RSS: it is an open, free standard, and most newspapers, blogs and podcasts keep publishing their feeds even when no longer linked in their site menus.
Keep in mind that free refers to the feed access: if you want to read many feeds in your own software — for example to build a news aggregator or to get notified whenever one of those feeds updates — you'll need infrastructure to poll and parse those feeds. That's exactly what RSS API does for you: we poll and parse any feed and deliver the items as clean JSON, so you can focus on building your product.
Yes — all feeds listed in this post are published free of charge by their publishers, and you can add them to any feed reader. If you want to consume many feeds programmatically or get notified about new items, you can automate that with a service like RSS API.
RSS feed URLs can be added to any feed reader, like Feedly or Inoreader. To read them in your own software, you can parse the feed with a single request using our RSS to JSON converter or the parse endpoint.
You can subscribe to feeds with RSS to Webhook: we monitor each feed and send new items as JSON webhooks to your server — usually within minutes of publication. No polling or parsing infrastructure needed on your end.

All of those RSS Feeds are great - they get updated with their latest news many, many times a day. But what is the best way to integrate all of this live data into your Software?
