What is RSS Feed?

A subscriber's RSS reader, or aggregator, requests an RSS feed, which is a set of instructions stored on the website's computer server and made available upon request. The feed notifies readers when fresh content—like a news story, a blog post, an audio or video clip—has been posted to a website.

A site's published content is listed in detail in an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which is an internet file. Details about each new piece of material that a website publishes, such as the complete text or a summary, publishing date, author, link, etc.
