Export & integration
Your personalized Scour feed is available as a standard RSS feed. Copy the URL below and paste it into your favorite feed reader.
Your personal feed URL
When you're signed in, the copy box below shows your personal feed URL: clicks through it count toward what your feed learns. The plain URL (/@{username}/rss.xml) works too, but its clicks are anonymous.
https://scour.ing/@username/rss.xmlScour also supports Atom (/atom.xml) and JSON Feed (/feed.json) formats. Swap the extension in any feed URL.
Customize your feed
You can customize your Scour feed with the following query parameters:
| Parameter | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
t | fresh, 1h, 1d, 1w, 1m | Time frame: fresh (the default), past hour, day, week, or month. Leave it off and your export covers the same window as your feed page. |
all_feeds | true / false | Search all sources or only the feeds you follow |
show_seen | true / false | Include posts you've already seen |
For example, /@username/rss.xml?t=1d&all_feeds=true will give you today's posts from all sources.
Interactive elements
Each post in your feed carries reaction links (Love, Like, Dislike) so you can rate content from your reader. Scour also mixes interest and feed recommendations into your feed so you can keep growing it and find more great content.
Feeds everywhere
Beyond your main feed, Scour offers these other types of feeds:
| Feed | URL Pattern |
|---|---|
| Per-interest feed | /@username/interests/{interest}/rss.xml |
| Your loves and likes | /@username/likes/rss.xml |
| Another user's feed | /@otherperson/rss.xml |
| Another user's loves and likes | /@otherperson/likes/rss.xml |
| Popular posts | /posts/popular/rss.xml |
| Most covered | /posts/discussed/rss.xml |
| Scour changelog | /changelog/rss.xml |
The two leaderboard feeds also take ?t=, and each window is a separate feed, so you can follow more than one.
OPML import & export
OPML is the standard format for transferring feed subscriptions between RSS readers. Scour supports both importing and exporting OPML files.
Import feeds
Import your existing feeds by uploading an OPML file. Any RSS reader can export one.
When you upload an OPML file, Scour also analyzes your feeds to suggest interests you might want to add. That way you can get both feeds and interests set up at once.
Export your interest feeds
You can export all your interest-specific feeds as an OPML file. Each interest imports as a separate feed, so you can organize by topic.
Export the feeds you follow
Download all the feeds you follow as an OPML file, which you can then import into any other RSS reader.
