RSS is a type of internet feed that allows access to online content updates. For examples, readers can use an RSS feed in a news aggregator application to keep track of updates on multiple websites.
Quintype has RSS feeds available for different groups of content. For instance, every collection has an associated RSS feed, that can be used to notify your readers whenever there are changes made to that collection.
RSS Feeds can be customized for different criteria:
- Sections/Collections
- Trending Stories
- Section IDs
- Skip stories from specific Sections
- Stories from a Sorter
- Skip syndicated stories
Typically, you can access Quintype RSS feeds from:<your website>/stories.rss This generates RSS feeds for the last four hours.
You can pass parameters to this URL to customize the feed for different criteria.
