How to create an RSS feed

Your Authory account comes with built-in RSS support. You can get an RSS feed for every collection that you create and for your Portfolio, too.

In order to get the respective RSS links, simply go to your collection/portfolio and click the "RSS" panel in the sidebar. An input field with the custom RSS link will appear right there.

What does the RSS feed contain?

Headline
Description
URL
Author name
Date

By default, the RSS feed shows the first 20 content items. You can edit that and make the RSS feed show however many items you like by adding the following parameter to the RSS feed URL: &count=NUMBER

Example: This RSS feed https://authory.com/Protim/rss?collection=YouTube-RSS-Collection-c20735a10a98f4a028ed812a826b13f8c will show 20 items by default. If you add at the end, then the RSS feed URL will look like this https://authory.com/Protim/rss?collection=YouTube-RSS-Collection-c20735a10a98f4a028ed812a826b13f8c&count=1000 and it will show 1,000 items instead of 20.

Will the RSS feed link to the original content source or to the copy in my Authory account?

The RSS feed mimics the link behaviour of the respective collection. You can control whether the links will go to the original source or to the copy on Authory via the Collection Link settings.
