What is FeedsAPI?
FeedsAPI is an open-source web feed (RSS & Atom) API written in PHP that makes it easy for developers to integrate feed content into their applications and websites. It abstracts away much of the complexity involved with fetching, parsing, normalizing, and caching feeds by handling it on the server-side.
Some key features of FeedsAPI include:
- Simple API for retrieving parsed feed content
- Normalizes feed content into a consistent structure
- Built-in caching for fast performance
- Automatic feed updates and refresh handling
- Extensible and customizable architecture
- Handles proper HTTP caching headers
- Actively maintained and supported
By handling all the feed parsing, normalization, and caching on your server, FeedsAPI allows you to focus on building application logic and frontend presentation rather than feed processing. It's a lightweight library with no dependencies making it easy to integrate into new or existing PHP projects.
