Example output
What you get back
Google and RSS readers need to see real XML, not just a Copy button. Here is what a generated feed looks like.
Input
https://startuphub.ai/blog (no RSS)
Output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>StartupHub Blog</title> <link>https://startuphub.ai/blog</link> <description>Latest posts from StartupHub Blog</description> <item> <title>Article Distribution: SEO-safe Postiz alternative</title> <link>https://startuphub.ai/article-distribution</link> <pubDate>Sat, 30 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Humanize AI Text: Free Tool With Word-Level Diff</title> <link>https://startuphub.ai/humanize-ai-text</link> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2026 10:00:00 GMT</pubDate> </item> </channel> </rss>
Live URL: https://www.startuphub.ai/api/rss-generator?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstartuphub.ai%2Fblog&refresh=1h re-scans every hour
Official feed detected: https://example.com/rss.xml - we returned that instead of scraping
How it works
Paste the URL
Blog index, news, or press page. We check for <link type="application/rss+xml"> and Atom before scraping.
We build the feed
Each post becomes an RSS item with title, link, and date. Standard RSS 2.0 every reader understands.
Set refresh rate
Choose how often the live feed re-scans the site. The hosted URL re-scans on each poll at that interval.
Copy, download, or subscribe
Raw XML, a .xml file, or a hosted URL for Feedly, Inoreader, or Article Distribution.
What people use it for
- Turn a blog without RSS into a working feed
- Monitor a competitor press page as RSS
- Create a feed for a site that removed RSS (Substack, Medium paywall)
- Pipe the feed into Article Distribution to auto-syndicate to 41 platforms
- Import into Zapier, Make, or n8n
Comparison
How this differs from FetchRSS and RSS.app
Everything in the FetchRSS / RSS.app column is what those tools advertise on their own pages.
| StartupHub RSS Generator | FetchRSS / RSS.app | |
|---|---|---|
| Detects existing feed | Yes: surfaces official RSS or Atom if one exists | No: always scrapes |
| When none exists | Scrapes, then outputs valid RSS 2.0 | Scrapes |
| Live URL | Live hosted URL that re-scans on each poll, with refresh rate control | Static file, goes stale |
| Format | Standard RSS 2.0 every reader understands | Proprietary |
| Copy or download | Copy raw XML or download .xml to host yourself | Yes |
| Price | Free, no sign-up, 50+ feeds today | $5-15/mo after 1 feed |
| Pipe to syndication | Yes: pipe into Article Distribution | No |
Questions
Straight answers
Does it work if the website has no RSS?
Yes. We scrape the latest article links from the page and turn them into valid RSS 2.0 you can subscribe to or download.
Does it detect existing RSS?
Yes. If the site already publishes RSS or Atom, we surface the official feed instead of scraping.
What is the live hosted feed URL?
A subscribe URL that re-scans the source on each poll, so your reader always shows the newest posts. Refresh rate controls how often we re-scan.
What format is the feed?
Standard RSS 2.0. It works in Feedly, Inoreader, Zapier, Make, n8n, and Article Distribution.
Can I download the XML?
Yes. Copy the raw XML from the page or download the .xml file to host it yourself.
Can I use it for Substack, YouTube, or news?
Works best on a blog index, news, or press page. For YouTube, use the YouTube to Article or YouTube Transcript tools instead.
