Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

zero fetch --capability tanod-web-rss-atom-feed-parser-ea2bb9b3 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you parse the Lex Fridman podcast RSS feed at https://lexfridman.com/feed/podcast/ and give me the latest 10 episodes with their titles, publish dates, and episode summaries?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable data from a public RSS, Atom, or RDF feed — including full feed metadata and a configurable number of items. It handles podcast-specific fields (enclosures, episode numbers, durations) automatically and follows redirects to the final feed URL. Prefer it over generic page scrapers when the target is a syndication feed rather than an HTML page.

## Known failure modes

- Feed URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — error returned
- URL points to a private, internal, or IP-literal host — refused with error
- Feed document exceeds 8 MB size limit — error returned
- URL does not contain valid RSS 2.0, Atom, or RDF XML — parse error returned
- Network timeout fetching the feed — error returned
- Malformed or non-XML content at the URL — parse failure

## How this service works

Web tools: search, page to Markdown or screenshot, company profile and jobs, sitemaps, RDAP, IP.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with feed-level metadata (title, author, description, image URL, language, categories, format, generator, copyright, is_podcast flag, last updated) plus an array of items each containing title, link, author, published timestamp, summary, categories, enclosure (audio/video file URL, type, byte length), duration in seconds, episode number, season, episode type, and a GUID. Also includes the resolved final URL after redirects, total item count in the feed, how many items were returned, and a truncated flag if not all items fit.
