The API

What the FeedBagel API is for

Everything the site shows is also available as JSON. Here's the short version of who it's for and how it differs from using the site itself.

What is the API?

It's a programmatic way to query everything FeedBagel knows: publishers, feeds, articles, tags, authors. If you're building a reader, a research tool, a Slack bot, or anything that needs structured data about what's being published on the open web, the API is what you talk to.

Who can use it?

The site is open to everyone. The API is reserved for authenticated apps and bots so we can keep it stable for the people building on top of it. If you want access, get in touch and we'll set you up.

What can I build with it?

  • An RSS reader with FeedBagel as the backend.
  • A research tool that watches certain topics or publishers.
  • A Slack/Discord bot that posts new articles from a tag.
  • A site that shows what publishers are saying about a story.
  • A custom newsletter generator.

Where's the reference?

Full endpoint documentation lives on the API docs page. Every endpoint has parameters, an example response, and a built-in "Try it" console so you can run a request from the browser without writing code.

How do I get access?

Email [email protected] with a sentence about what you're building and we'll send you credentials.
