RSS Lookup
RSS Lookup searches a website URL for available RSS feeds through an open-source tool.
About RSS Lookup
RSS Lookup is a web tool for finding RSS feeds on a website. A user pastes in a URL, and the tool searches that site for available feed addresses. It first checks the page for RSS link tags in its HTML. If none are found, it tries a few common feed paths on the site.
The tool only locates feed URLs. It does not display feed content or subscribe the user to anything, so a separate RSS client or service is needed to read the feed. Results depend on the target site. Many websites do not offer a feed, and some sites have RSS link tags that are missing or misconfigured, which can cause the tool to report no feeds even when one exists. The homepage states that the site does not keep track of the specific URLs people submit. It also says that Upstash Redis collects data for rate limiting and that Umami collects anonymous analytics.

RSS Lookup FAQ
How does RSS Lookup work?
When a URL is submitted, RSS Lookup fetches the site and looks for RSS HTML tags. If it finds none, it searches a few common feed paths to check whether a feed exists.
Why couldn't RSS Lookup find any feeds?
Many websites do not have an RSS feed configured. Some sites also have RSS link tags that are not set up correctly, which can prevent the tool from detecting a feed that exists.
What information does this site collect?
According to the homepage, the site is not designed to collect much data. Upstash Redis collects information for rate limiting, and Umami collects anonymous analytics. The site owner states that specific URLs requested through the tool are not tracked.
