Feeds on RebelMouse

A feed is a stream of content that you can scroll through. The content appears in similar-looking blocks that repeat one after the other.

Web Feed

Web feed (or news feed) is a data format that provides users with frequently updated content.

Web feeds are designed to be machine-readable rather than human-readable. They can also be used to automatically transfer information from one website to another without any human intervention.

Common web feed formats are:

• Atom
• JSON Feed
• RSS

Our default Feed Structure

All RebelMouse sites have automatically generated RSS and JSON feeds of their home page, sections, and subsections, but we support the ability to create custom feeds.

RSS Feed Structure

Full Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/feed.rss

Section-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/section.rss

Subsection-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/section/subsection.rss

JSON Feed Structure

Full Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/feed.json

Section-based Feed = {site_domain}/feed/section.json

Subsection-based Feed = {site_domain}/feeds/community/writer.json

When Feeds are used

There are many uses for feeds from your site to another or to get feeds from other sites to yours. Some of those cases can be:

• News Aggregators;
• Content injection on your site from another source;
• Content Feeds dashboard;
• Fetch posts in a mobile app developed by you;
• Most common news aggregators used::
  • SmartNews
  • Flipboard
  • Google News
  • Apple News

GraphQL Feed Builder Structure

Path: r/dashboard/feed_builder

The columns on the dashboard represent the following items:

• Name: The name of the feed. The name of the feed is used in the feed URL (e.g., {site_domain}/customfeeds/feed/archive_wellness_library/json)
• Basic Authentication (Optional): If the feed has a base auth enabled in this column, we will show a password that is colon-separated: {user}:{password} (e.g., wellness:library)
• Errors: If there are any errors in the feed, the errors will be listed in this column;
• Get Feed URL: The links to all the feed formats (e.g., JSON, RSS, Atom, XML);
• Edit
• Delete
