rssapi.net is live! 🎉🎉🎉
RSS-Feeds are a great way to get Articles, News, etc. from a website. But parsing & integrating RSS-Feeds into your own Website or App is hard. I want to change that.
That's why I built an API for developers which automatically converts RSS-Feeds to easily parsable JSON.
The best thing? It not only works with RSS-Feeds but also with the wide-spread ATOM-Feed Format and the recently introduced JSON-Feed Format! ✌️
But I haven't mentioned the main feature yet: automatic Feed subscriptions!
You can call the API with different Feeds (RSS, ATOM and JSON-feeds work) and your server will receive a webhook whenever there are new entries in a Feed! Everything automatically!
You can easily subscribe to hundreds or even thousands of different Feeds!
You don't have to set up cron-jobs anymore! You don't need to somehow find out which entries in the Feed you have already processed and which are new. Just use the API to subscribe to a Feed and you are done!
If you have any questions, don't hesistate to write a comment right here on Product Hunt or message me on Twitter! I'll be happy to help!

I love the green color you used for your slides and logo. I checked out the page and would have liked to play around with the API, but wasn't willing to spend 8 euro without a trial period first. I think you should allow people to use the API for free (in a developer sandbox if necessary) and then once they're certain they want what you built, get them to pay for it. I think Phantombuster does a good job of this.

Hello there @angela_jeffrey! That's a good idea! I created a API Playground site at https://rssapi.net/playground
It'd be great if you could check it out and let me know what you think!
Thanks a lot for the kind words and the great idea!

An, are there any WordPress instances in production? More specifically, any that are aggregating RSS-enabled news feeds? Last item, can a given feed be further filtered to grab only content based on keyword, category, tag..., an important one..., by author? Thanks!

@michael_streib Would be awesome if somehow you could plug rssground, this plugin and RSS aggregator on wordpress. That would save so much time...
