Feeds help you to get new articles from your favorite websites into your RecurPost libraries.
Through RecurPost, you can get newly published content from your favorite websites in no time.

What is RSS Feed?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is an open method for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs, and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.
An RSS feed is an online file that contains details about every piece of content a site has published. Each time a site publishes a new piece of content, details about that content—including the full text of the content or a summary, publication date, author, link, etc.
How to Get an RSS Feed from a Website?
You can find the RSS Feed URL through the Page Source. Looking at the HTML source of the website’s page will also give you the RSS feed’s URL.
Right click on the website’s page, and choose View Page Source. In the new window that appears, use the “find” feature (Ctrl + F on Windows or Command + F on a Mac), and type in RSS. You’ll find the feed’s URL between the quotes after href=.
How to Add New RSS Feed?
