To share your posts as an RSS or JSON feed, right-click a feed or folder in the left sidebar and choose Publish..., then An RSS feed. Feeder makes the feed right away and opens its page, where you copy the address. Publishing feeds is part of the Professional and Enterprise plans.
How do I publish a feed, folder or collection?
- In the left sidebar, right-click the feed or folder and choose Publish..., then An RSS feed.
- Feeder creates the feed and opens it under Publish, RSS feeds.
- Under Address, copy the URL. Paste it into a feed reader, Slack, Zapier or any other app that reads RSS.
You can also start from Publish in the left sidebar. Open RSS feeds, select New RSS feed, and under Source select Choose source to pick a feed, a folder, a collection or your starred posts.
The Edit folder page and a collection's page show the same feed: its address with a Copy button, or Publish as RSS feed if the folder or collection has none yet.
Where is the JSON feed?
Open the feed under Publish, RSS feeds and expand The same feed as JSON Feed. It follows the JSON Feed format. From a folder's or collection's page, select Settings, JSON Feed and activity to get there.
What can I change in a published feed?
On the feed's page, under What's in it:
- Number of posts: how many of the newest posts the feed lists.
- Hide duplicates: leaves out posts that link to the same page.
- Apply my rules: leaves out the posts your Rules filter out.
- More options: Translate posts into another language, and Standard RSS tags only for strict feed readers.
The list under Publish, RSS feeds shows each feed's status and how often apps checked it in the last 30 days.
I had a public link to a folder or collection before. Does it still work?
Yes. Older addresses, which contain /out/folder/ or /out/collection/, keep working, so apps that use them don't need to change. Feeder no longer shows them on the Edit folder page. That page now shows the folder's published feed, which has a new address. Publish the folder to get one, and you can then see its activity and change its settings under Publish, RSS feeds.
Common questions
Which plans can publish feeds?
Professional and Enterprise. Compare plans on feeder.co/pricing.
Can I put my posts on my website instead?
Yes. In the Publish... menu of a feed, choose Posts on your website to make a widget you can embed.
Do posts in a published feed keep their original dates?
Yes. Each post keeps the publication date from the feed it came from. If that feed gives no date, Feeder uses the time it first found the post.
Still stuck? E-mail support@feeder.co with the folder or collection you want to publish, and we'll help.
