The RSS feed
A private feed of your project's articles that any RSS-aware tool may consume.
Every project 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
- Go to Settings, then Integrations, and open the Developer zone.
- Click Enable next to the RSS feed.
- 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 project. 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 refreshed or rewritten. |
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 full article as raw Markdown. |
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.
