About

RSS Amplifier is an open directory of independent blogs. Submit a URL, a list of URLs or an OPML file; we find the feed, read it, and give the blog a permanent page.

Why it exists

The independent web is still there — it is just hard to find, and increasingly hard for anything automated to read. Most large sites now block AI crawlers outright. We do the opposite: every page here is open, and the whole directory is published as JSON, OPML and plain text so an agent can read it in one request.

How feeds get in

Anyone can add one, with no account. We resolve a homepage to its feed by reading <link rel="alternate"> tags first, then trying the conventional paths. RSS, Atom and JSON Feed all work. Feeds are re-crawled hourly, backing off when a host stops responding, and a feed that fails ten times running stops being crawled while its archive page stays up.

What we store

Feed metadata and the summaries the feed itself publishes — the same thing any reader would show. Posts link back to the author's own site; we are a directory, not a mirror. If you would rather not be listed, mail us and we will remove it.

Machine-readable

• /llms.txt — the directory, described for language models
• /api/feeds — every blog, paginated JSON
• /api/search?q= — full-text search, or &mode=any for any term rather than all of them
• /opml — the whole directory as a subscription list

All of them send an open CORS header and need no key.
