What This Tool Does
Lightweight feed parsing utility that fetches and extracts structured content from RSS and Atom feeds for content aggregation and monitoring workflows. This function retrieves feed data from any publicly accessible URL using configurable HTTP timeouts up to 120 seconds, then parses the XML content using the feedparser library to extract both feed-level metadata and individual entry details. The response includes comprehensive feed information such as title, link, last updated timestamp, and description, alongside an array of entries containing each item's title, link, publication date, summary, and full content when available. Users can limit results with the max_items parameter, retrieving anywhere from 1 to 200 entries per request to balance completeness with response size. The optional include_raw flag exposes parsing diagnostics including the bozo flag and any exception details, useful for debugging malformed or non-standard feeds. With its straightforward interface and consistent JSON output structure, the RSS Reader provides an efficient bridge between syndicated web content and downstream processing pipelines that need to consume, filter, or aggregate published articles, blog posts, podcasts, or news updates.
