Importing Web Feeds (RSS/Atom)

Momento can import an RSS or Atom Web Feed so you can record activity of a website or blog.

A web feed is a data format used for providing users with frequently updated content. Content distributors syndicate a web feed, thereby allowing users to subscribe to it. [Wikipedia]

Other than importing a feed from your website or blog, you can also import activity from other web services which Momento doesn't support directly.

Note: Many mobile versions of websites or blogs do not include web feeds. Try navigating to the standard version of the website — often there's a link at the bottom of the page.

Web Feed Limitations

Web feeds are subject to limitations by their source. The data returned may be limited to the most recent items, either constrained by time or quantity. We recommend launching Momento regularly to ensure you archive all items.

Note: Momento will only import an excerpt of each feed item.

Feed Icons

You may notice that some feeds have customised icons. This includes feeds for services which already existing in Momento, as well as other popular websites and web services.
