##About

Stack2RSS is a small service that when given an API query, generates an RSS feed that you can then subscribe to in your RSS reader.

For those who are not familiar with the API methods, you can just browse the site I set up and subscribe to the feeds that are there. The feeds are set up in such a way that your can customize them quite a bit.

You can also have the feeds emailed to you every day. Just visit the site for details!

The inspiration for this application came from all of the feature-requests on Meta that I saw. All of the following are now solved by using Stack2RSS: (a long list, I know...)

• RSS feed of hot questions during the week for specific tag
• Could there be an RSS feed for the newest Featured questions?
• RSS for Stackoverflow's unanswered questions that matches my only favorite tags?
• Tags in RSS bodies
• How can I get an RSS feed of just my own questions?
• RSS feed for new Stack Exchanges
• RSS feed for responses to your posts
• Can I get Stackoverflow's user feeds, about only the answers.
• Anyway to get a RSS feed for unanswered questions?
• Why is there no RSS feed for /unanswered/tagged/tagname?
• How do you do to keep track of notifications?
• How often is the RSS feed updated?
• Can I create an RSS feed of only my questions but that does not include answers I give to questions?
• RSS feed of reputation changes? Comments?
• RSS feed for favorite questions
• Can we have other RSS feeds - the current one messes up outlook
• Answer Only RSS feed for a user
• RSS feed for votes on user's questions and answers
• RSS for unanswered+tagged questions?
• Provide RSS feed for questions with >n votes or replies?

##License

New: now released under the GPLv3 license!

##Download

The easiest way to get a feel for what you can do with Stack2RSS is to visit its homepage at:

http://quickmediasolutions.com/stack2rss/

You can vote for your favorite feeds there and submit your own.

To actually use this service, simply format a URL as follows:

http://quickmediasolutions.com/stack2rss/{site}/{query}

• {site} - the domain name of the site (for example, superuser.com)
• {query} - the API query to use (for example, users/1)

There is one extra parameter you can use that I should mention:

• api_version=xxx - forces Stack2RSS to use the given API version (currently this can be either 1.0 or 1.1).

##Examples

Here are a couple of examples that demonstrate Stack2RSS usage:

• Unanswered 'php' questions on StackOverflow

• Questions asked by Jeff Atwood on SuperUser sorted by votes:
