## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly fetch and convert a public RSS 2.0 or Atom feed into readable markdown without storing any data. Ideal for content digests, feed monitoring pipelines, and summarization workflows where a clean markdown representation of feed items is needed. Best suited for feeds accessible via HTTPS with payloads under 1 MB.

## Known failure modes

- Non-HTTPS URL provided (http, file, data, localhost, private IP) — rejected with error
- Feed body exceeds 1 MB size cap — returns error
- Feed fetch times out after ~10 seconds — returns timeout error
- More than 5 redirects encountered — returns redirect limit error
- Invalid or malformed RSS/Atom XML — parse error returned
- Requested URL is unreachable or returns non-200 status — HTTP error returned

## How this service works

Convert a public https RSS 2.0 or Atom feed URL to tidy markdown ($0.005 USDC via x402). https only — http, file, data, localhost, and private IPs are rejected. Caps: 1 MB body, ~10s timeout, max 5 redirects. Optional max_items (default 20, cap 50). Returns JSON { url, final_url, feed_title?, feed_link?, format, items, markdown, item_count, warnings }. Provided as is, with no warranty or guarantee of accuracy or fitness. Nothing is stored.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the original URL, the final resolved URL (after redirects), optional feed title and link, detected feed format (RSS 2.0 or Atom), an array of parsed feed items, a combined markdown string of all items, the total item count, and any warnings encountered during parsing or fetching.
