RSS2JSON: common questions

Is RSS2JSON free to use?

Yes — RSS2JSON is a free open data API. Free tier: Free — limits not published. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does RSS2JSON need an API key?

No — RSS2JSON needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Unpublished).

Can I call RSS2JSON from the browser?

Yes — RSS2JSON returns CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch it directly with no backend proxy. Use the fetch snippet on this page, or hit "Run live" to try it now.

Is RSS2JSON up right now?

RSS2JSON is catalogued but not yet on our probe schedule, so we don't publish a live status for it. Check the provider's own status page or docs for its current state.
