How to Find a Website's RSS Feed with RSS Finder

Updated

RSS Finder (rss-finder.rook1e.com) is a browser-based tool that scans a website URL and lists the RSS feeds it can discover. Use it when a site doesn't advertise its feed link, when the feed isn't at the usual /feed or /rss path, or when you just want to confirm whether a feed exists before subscribing. You need the site's full URL and a place to paste the result (an RSS reader). No account or installation is described on the page.

Steps

  1. Open RSS Finder. Go to rss-finder.rook1e.com. The page shows a single input labeled for a website URL and a Find RSS button.
  2. Paste the full website URL. Enter the address including the scheme, e.g. https://example.com. Using the complete URL (with https://) is the safer input — a bare domain may or may not resolve the same way, so include the scheme when you can.
  3. Click Find RSS. The tool scans the site and returns the feeds it finds. Expect a short wait while it fetches and parses the page.
  4. Read the results. Each result is a feed URL. If the site exposes more than one (for example, a main feed plus a comments or category feed), you'll see multiple entries — pick the one that matches what you want to follow.
  5. Copy the feed link. The page includes a copy action ("Copied to clipboard!" confirms it). Copy the feed URL you want.
  6. Subscribe in your RSS reader. Paste that URL into your reader's "add feed / add subscription" field. The reader fetches the feed and starts showing items.

What to check if no feed appears

  • Try the exact page, not just the homepage. Some sites only expose feeds on section or blog index pages.
  • Include the scheme. https://example.com is a more complete input than example.com.
  • Confirm the site actually publishes a feed. Not every site does; a site with no feed will return nothing regardless of input format.
  • Re-check the copied link. Make sure you copied the feed URL from the results, not the site URL you typed in.

The tool's page also links to a GitHub project, which is useful if you want to see how it works or self-host it. For everyday use, the five steps above are the whole workflow: paste a URL, find the feed, copy it, subscribe.
