What feed formats are supported?

RSS 2.0 and Atom. These cover the vast majority of feeds used by blogs, news sites, podcasts and developer tools.

How does feed discovery work?

SmartScan checks for and similar autodiscovery tags in the HTML head, then parses all found feeds.

Up to 50 most recent articles per feed. If a site has multiple feeds, all are discovered and parsed.

SmartScan will report no feeds found. Many modern sites have removed RSS — in that case, use the Text Extractor or Link Extractor instead.
