How RSS to Webhook works
1. Set your webhook URL
After signing up, set the URL of your webhook endpoint once — either in the Dashboard or via API:
https://api.rssapi.net/v1/apikey/setwebhook?url=https://example.com/webhook_receiver
2. Subscribe to any feed
Pass the URL of any RSS, ATOM, RDF or JSON feed to the subscribe endpoint. From now on, RSS API checks your feeds continiously — no cron jobs, retries or parsing code on your side.
https://api.rssapi.net/v1/apikey/subscribe?url=https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss
3. You receive JSON
Whenever a feed publishes one or more new items, we send a POST request with the normalized JSON data to your webhook URL — usually within a few minutes of publication.
Example webhook
The POST request we send to your endpoint always has a JSON body: the feed's details plus every new item — including images, content and metadata. Shortened from the API documentation:

}We'll push all feed updates to you
Failed deliveries are retried automatically several times. Your Dashboard shows a log of all pushed webhooks — including why they might have failed — and lets you resend individual webhooks, which makes debugging easy.
RSS, ATOM or JSON
Subscribe to any feed, no matter its format: RSS, RDF, ATOM and JSON Feed are all supported. All items are normalized into a unified, easy-to-use JSON structure before being delivered to your webhook — including images and other metadata.
