# RSS and Atom feeds

> Resources, examples, configuration and evidence for RSS and Atom feeds.

Use the `@bijection/connectors/feeds` entrypoint to declare RSS and Atom feeds resources.

## Availability

This page describes the pinned source package. Published availability is unestablished for this artifact. [Source build and package availability](https://docs.bijection.com/client/sdk-distribution.md).

## Resources and modes

| Resource | Mode | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Atom feed | `entries` | Atom entries with a conditional poll |
| RSS feed | `items` | RSS items with a conditional poll |

Declare a resource in application code, then bind deployment-specific settings and credentials. See [typed resources](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/resources.md), [connections](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connections.md) and [source inspection](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/cli.md).

## Atom feed

### entries: Atom entries with a conditional poll

The following example matches configuration `standard`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { feeds } from "@bijection/connectors/feeds";
export const source = feeds.atom.entries();
```

> **Inferred record types**
>
> ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
> Resource without an operational record table
> ```

#### Configuration: standard

Case: `feeds/atom/entries/standard`.

Connection and resource configuration are declared by this exact case.

Credential kind: `feed`. Keep credential material in the private credential inventory.

| Setting | Type | Required | Owner |
| - | - | - | - |
| `feedUrl` | string | Yes | Shared connection |

Hosted qualification: **unestablished for this catalog configuration**. Installed connections report their own identity, authority and current status.

## RSS feed

### items: RSS items with a conditional poll

The following example matches configuration `lastModified`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { feeds } from "@bijection/connectors/feeds";

export const source = feeds.rss.items({ validator: "last-modified" });
```

#### Configuration: lastModified

Case: `feeds/rss/items/lastModified`.

Connection and resource configuration are declared by this exact case.

Credential kind: `feed`. Keep credential material in the private credential inventory.

**Recorded checks**

| Requirement | Scope | Evidence | Result |
| - | - | - | - |
| page-publication-recovery | \{"kind":"collection","name":"entries"} | Native test: integrations/acquisition/acquisition\_windows\_preserve\_sequences\_and\_restart\_fences\_old\_work (shared\_engine) | Execution result unavailable |
| identity-account | \{"kind":"connection"} | Fixture: ./src/connectors/feeds/fixtures/identity.json | passed (2026-10-24T21:36:12.046Z) |

Hosted qualification: **unestablished for this catalog configuration**. Installed connections report their own identity, authority and current status.

## Provider guidance

Compiled declaration examples and configuration details are published in the [connector reference](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connectors/index).

The connection's base URL is the feed. A pull listener asks it conditionally (`If-None-Match`/`ETag` by default, `If-Modified-Since`/`Last-Modified` with `validator: "last-modified"`); a `200` is a refresh hint, a `304` is quiet. The collection reads the document through the host's `xml` codec.

Atom entries are keyed by `atom:id` with `atom:updated` as the version. RSS items are keyed by `guid`, else `link`, with no version. A feed is a window, so nothing is ever withdrawn and no coverage is claimed. RFC 5005 paging is not followed. More than 128 entries is refused, and so are `type="xhtml"` text constructs.

Built from the provider's published API documentation; nothing here has run against RSS and Atom feeds or been qualified.

## Provider references

Provider references and prerequisites are maintained in the connector guidance above. No separate provider-documentation review date is recorded.

The resource declaration examples above are compiled and compared with exact catalog declarations. Recorded checks apply only to their source, declaration and runtime identities. Configure a connection and inspect its status to establish deployment-specific readiness.
