Why use this RSS Finder?

RSS is a useful way to follow new content from websites without checking each site manually. Blogs, news websites, podcasts, and other publishing platforms may provide RSS or Atom feeds that can be added to an RSS reader.

The difficult part is often finding the actual feed URL. Some websites display an RSS link clearly, while others keep the feed address in the page source or use a platform-specific URL. In some cases, the feed is available even though there is no visible RSS button on the website.

This RSS Finder helps locate those feeds from a website URL. It scans the page for available RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds and can also check common feed paths when a feed is not directly linked from the page.

This is useful when you want to find the feed for a blog, news website, category, publication, or another site and then add it to an RSS reader.

How to use the RSS Finder

  1. Enter the website URL you want to check. You can enter the main homepage or another relevant page from the site.
  2. Click Find RSS Feeds to start the scan.
  3. Wait for the tool to check the page and look for available feed links. The scan may take a few seconds depending on the website.
  4. Review the feed URLs returned by the tool. Each result may indicate whether the feed is RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed.
  5. Click the Copy option beside a feed URL when you want to use it in another application.
  6. Paste the copied feed address into your preferred RSS reader, such as Feedly, Inoreader, Reeder, NetNewsWire, or another compatible reader.
  7. If the website does not expose its feed directly on the page, the tool may also check common paths such as /feed or /rss.xml.
  8. If several feeds are found, choose the one that matches the content you want to follow. A site may provide separate feeds for its main content, categories, or other sections.

An example

Suppose you want to find the RSS feed of a blog at:

https://example.com

Enter the website address into the RSS Finder and click Find RSS Feeds. If the site publishes an RSS feed, the tool may return an address such as:

https://example.com/feed/

Copy that feed URL and add it to your RSS reader. From then on, the reader can use the feed to show new posts published by the website without requiring you to visit the site every time.

If the main page does not contain a visible feed link, the tool can also check common feed locations. For example, a WordPress website may use /feed/, while other platforms may use different RSS or Atom URL patterns. If no feed is found, the website may not provide a publicly accessible feed, or the feed may require a URL or access method that the tool cannot detect.

RSS Finder – FAQ

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a standard format for publishing updates from a website in a machine-readable way. Instead of visiting a site every day to check for new posts, you subscribe to its RSS feed, and your reader shows you every new item automatically. Atom and JSON Feed are modern alternatives that work the same way.
The tool fetches the website's HTML and looks for feed links in several ways: (1) inside <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tags in the page head, (2) links to common feed paths like /feed, /rss.xml, and /feed/atom, (3) auto-discovery meta tags, and (4) fallback probing of standard WordPress and Blogger feed URLs.
Not every website has an RSS feed. Social media sites, single-page apps, and sites that require JavaScript to render don't have traditional feeds. Also, some sites deliberately hide or remove their feed. If no feed is detected, try the site's news or blog section — feeds often live there.
RSS is the oldest and most widely supported format. Atom is a modern alternative with stricter rules and better support for non-Latin characters. JSON Feed is a newer format that uses JSON instead of XML — easier for developers to parse. All three work in most modern feed readers.
Copy the feed URL and paste it into any RSS reader. Popular ones include Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, Reeder, NetNewsWire, and Thunderbird. Many browsers also support live bookmarks. Some CMS platforms (like WordPress) let you import RSS feeds to republish content automatically.
It opens the W3C Feed Validator with your feed URL pre-filled. The validator checks whether the feed is properly formatted and identifies any issues that might break readers. Useful if you're a blogger or developer who wants to make sure your feed is standards-compliant.
Not in a single search — but you can run the tool as many times as you want with different URLs. Each lookup is independent. If you need bulk discovery for many sites, that's a feature we could add on request.
No. The tool uses a temporary cache (30 minutes) on our server to speed up repeat lookups of the same URL, but nothing is logged, tracked, or shared. Your searched URLs aren't stored anywhere permanent.
