RSS feed reader API: parse RSS and Atom feeds to JSON

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

Read a public RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 or Atom feed and get the feed title, link and description plus its newest items: title, link, date (ISO 8601), short plain-text summary, author and id. Up to 50 items, feeds up to 2 MB. Lenient with real-world feeds; a page that is not a feed returns 422, uncharged. Use to follow news, blogs, release notes or podcasts without scraping pages.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/feed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.cloudflare.com%2Frss%2F"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/feed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.cloudflare.com%2Frss%2F&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.

Questions

Which formats and limits?

RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 and Atom, up to 50 items per call and feeds up to 2 MB; it is lenient with real-world feeds.

What if the URL is not a feed?

It returns 422 and is not charged.

How do I pay?

Each successful call costs $0.01; failed calls are not charged. The first 25 calls are free. Then pay with card credits (from $1; the key goes in an Authorization header or, for clients that can only fetch a URL, as api_key= in the URL) or per call in USDC over x402 or MPP. No account is needed.
