RSS Feed

RSS Feed is a retired Nodaro node that no longer runs. Read RSS and Atom feeds with the RSS Feed source of the Web Scrape node instead.

RSS Feed is a retired node that read one item of an RSS or Atom feed. You can no longer add it from the node picker. When a workflow that still contains one runs, Nodaro skips the node, so it produces nothing. To read a feed, use the Web Scrape node with its RSS Feed source.

What happens to a saved RSS Feed node

  • The node still appears on the canvas with its settings, Feed URL and Item Index.
  • When the workflow runs, the node is skipped. The nodes connected to its outputs receive nothing from it.
  • Nothing else in the workflow breaks, so you can replace the node at any time.

Replace it with Web Scrape

Add a Web Scrape node

Press Tab on the canvas and choose Automate › Get Content › Web Scrape.

Choose the RSS Feed source

In the settings panel, set Source to RSS Feed and paste the address from the old node's Feed URL into Feed URL.

Set how many items you want

Set Results limit, from 1 to 50. The old node returned one item. Most feeds list their newest item first, so a Results limit of 1 usually returns the newest item, as an Item Index of 0 did.

Reconnect and remove the old node

Connect the JSON output of Web Scrape to the nodes that the old node fed, for example the Prompt input of a Prompt node. Then delete the RSS Feed node.

The replacement for RSS Feed: every morning Web Scrape reads the feed, a Prompt node writes a post, and Publish to Social posts it.

Web Scrape also gives you a Results tab with every item and a link to its source. To use one field of every item, such as the title, connect the JSON output to Extract Field. To check the feed every day, add a Schedule Trigger to the workflow.

Other retired nodes are listed in Legacy nodes.
