Terms of the RSS feeds directory

Last changed 6 November 2026.

Submitting a feed

A feed is a public document its publisher puts out so that other software can read it. Submitting one here means you believe it is public and meant to be read that way. You do not need to own the site, and nobody is asked to prove that they do.

What is shown from a feed

What a feed reader shows: the feed's name and description, and for each post its title, a short excerpt, its date, its author when given, and a link to the original. The directory stores nothing more. Each feed's copy at rss.mobi, the RSS address its page offers, passes on posts whole, as the original feed carries them at that moment: it is read from the original when a reader asks for it and is not kept. The feed's edit link can limit the copy to excerpts. rss.mobi may also publish its own articles that draw on several sources; every such article names and links the sources it used.

What is removed

Spam, scams, gambling, adult and pharmacy feeds, feeds that exist to sell links, and anything unlawful. A feed can be hidden and a site blocked without notice.

Removal on request

A publisher who does not want to be listed, or wants its copy limited to excerpts, can say so from the feed's page (Report a problem → I own this site), and whoever submitted the feed can do either with their edit link. Anything else: rss-mobi@vvm.space.

API keys

Anyone may read the API without a key, at 120 requests a minute per address. A key bought on that page is sold by Polar Software Inc. as the merchant of record: Polar takes the payment, issues the receipt, handles tax and shows the key after payment. rss.mobi sees no card and keeps nothing about the buyer; a key is checked with Polar when it is used, and a hash of it is remembered for ten minutes. A key is good for 30 days from purchase, for 600 requests a minute and every field the API has. It may be refunded within 14 days of purchase on request, through Polar or by writing to the address below; a refunded key stops working. One key serves one site or application and is not for resale. Keys made by hand, for the sites of the network or on request by e-mail, follow the same rules.

No warranty

The directory is provided as it is. Feeds and posts belong to their publishers, who are responsible for them; rss.mobi does not check what they say.

Privacy

No account, no cookies and no advertising trackers. Visits, page views and clicks are counted without any identifier; a visit is the first page a tab opens here, marked by a flag the tab forgets when it closes, and counted by the kind of site that sent you (a search engine, an assistant, another site or none), never by its address. When two versions of a page are being compared, a random number kept in your browser decides which one you see; it never leaves the browser. The directory keeps no addresses of people who submit feeds, only a hash that changes daily, to stop one address submitting hundreds.
