How to find the RSS/ATOM URL of a website

This article describes how you can search an RSS/ATOM URL of a website, what you can use in the NewsFeed Launcher or other RSS reader application.

Most of the time you need to search a page in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox etc.), where you can see a similar structure as the following examples:

example 1
example 2
example 3

When you see a page similar to these, you can see the feed’s url on the top.

There is no generic way to do this, but you can try the following things:

  • Find the rss icon on the news site, then click on it

    • Sometimes it will direct you to the RSS/ATOM feed instantly

    • Sometimes it will direct you to a new page where you can choose which particular topic you are interested in. These can be such as "World news", "Business", "Sports"

      • Click on the topic, what will direct you to the RSS/ATOM feed

  • Try out some common urls, such as "/feed", "/rss" or "/blog/rss.xml".

    • Ex.: If you want to find the RSS url for the "xda-developers.com" site, try out the "xda-developers.com/feed" and "xda-developers.com/rss" urls. If you are not getting "404 – Not found" for one of them, you successfully found the RSS url
