The RSS feed

A private feed of your site's articles that any RSS-aware tool may consume.

Updated

Every site may expose its articles as a feed, so that platforms and automation tools which understand RSS can fetch your content without any custom code. The feed is served in the Atom format, which mainstream feed readers and automation tools handle interchangeably with RSS. It is also the mechanism behind the Zapier integration.

Enabling the feed

  1. Go to Settings, then Integrations, and open the Developer zone.
  2. Click Enable next to the RSS feed.
  3. Click Show URL to reveal the feed URL, and copy it into whichever tool should consume it.

The feed URL

The URL ends in a token that is unique to your site. The token is the only protection on the feed: anyone who holds the link may read your articles, and no further authentication applies. So while the URL is safe to paste into a trusted tool, you should treat it as you would a password.

What the feed contains

An article enters the feed once its scheduled date arrives, which is typically the same morning the article is written. Entries are ordered newest first, and the feed is paginated in pages of ten articles, with standard pagination links pointing to the older pages.

Each entry carries the standard Atom elements plus a few RankYak-specific ones:

Element Contents
title The article title.
content The full article as HTML, without the top-level heading, since most platforms render the title themselves.
published The article's scheduled publish date.
updated The most recent change, which moves forward when the article is optimized.
rankyak:id The article's ID in RankYak.
rankyak:slug The URL slug.
rankyak:metaTitle The meta title.
rankyak:metaDescription The meta description.
rankyak:markdown The article body as raw Markdown, without the title heading, which the title element carries.

Disabling the feed

To turn the feed off, return to the same Developer zone section and click Disable. The feed URL stops resolving immediately. If you enable the feed again later, it becomes available at the same URL as before.
