# Vextorium RSS Feed Reader

> Vextorium RSS Feed Reader is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Fetches and parses any RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, or Atom feed (or auto-discovers the feed from a web page URL) and returns clean, structured JSON with title, link, date, author, summary, and categories for each entry.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

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

```sh
zero fetch --capability vextorium-rss-feed-reader-f649c8df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the latest 10 entries from the GitHub Blog RSS feed at https://github.blog/feed/ and give me each post's title, date, author, and a plain-text summary.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to ingest RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, or Atom feeds and want clean, normalized JSON output without running your own feed parser. It also handles feed auto-discovery from a plain web page URL, making it useful when you only know the site's homepage. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the content source publishes a structured feed, as it extracts semantic fields (date, author, categories) reliably.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error — the target feed must be publicly accessible
- URL points to a page with no declared feed and feed auto-discovery fails
- Malformed or non-standard feed XML that cannot be parsed
- limit parameter out of range (must be 1–100) causes a validation error
- Network timeout if the remote feed server is slow to respond
