# 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.

Source: https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/rss-feed

**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](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/web-scrape#rss-and-atom-feeds) 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](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/prompt) node. Then delete the RSS Feed node.

Workflow: 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 → Prompt (prompt)
- Prompt → Publish to Social

## What changes

| | RSS Feed (retired) | Web Scrape with the RSS Feed source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Items per run** | One, chosen by **Item Index** | Up to 50, set by **Results limit** |
| **Fields of an item** | Title, description and link | `title`, `url`, `description`, `pubDate` and `guid` |
| **Output** | Text | A JSON list of items |
| **Feed formats** | RSS and Atom | RSS 2.0, the older 0.9x and 1.0 versions, and Atom |
| **Credits** | None, the node no longer runs | 10 per run |

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](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/extract-field). To check the feed every day, add a [Schedule Trigger](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/automate/schedule-trigger) to the workflow.

Other retired nodes are listed in [Legacy nodes](https://nodaro.ai/docs/nodes/legacy-nodes).

## Frequently asked questions

### Why can't I find the RSS Feed node?

RSS Feed is retired and no longer in the node picker. The Web Scrape node reads RSS and Atom feeds with its RSS Feed source, and returns several items per run.

### Does a saved RSS Feed node still work?

No. A workflow that contains one still opens, but every run skips the node, so the nodes connected to it receive nothing. Replace it with a Web Scrape node.

### How do I read an RSS feed in Nodaro now?

Add a Web Scrape node, set Source to RSS Feed and paste the address of the feed in Feed URL. Each run returns up to 50 items, each with a title, a link, a description, a date and an ID, for 10 credits.
