Social Media Post Article API
One strong article can support several shorter conversations, but a social post is not simply the first paragraph with a link attached.

Article API RSS Feed
An RSS feed gives readers and compatible software a structured view of published articles. It should reflect the same titles, canonical links, and publication dates as the website rather than becoming a second, inconsistent content archive.
Start with the right boundary
Build the feed from the same approved content records as the pages. Keep item identity stable when an article is corrected, and choose deliberately whether readers receive an excerpt or full article content.
A practical workflow
01. Define the feed identity
Provide a channel title, site link, description, and language. Make the feed discoverable from the website header metadata and footer.
02. Create consistent items
Use a stable identifier, canonical article link, accurate title, and publication date where applicable. Escape content correctly for XML.
03. Validate the reader experience
Parse the XML, inspect article links and images, and test an actual feed reader. Check that an ordinary correction does not appear as a duplicate new article.
Before the next handoff
- Stable item identifiers across revisions.
- Publication dates agree with the visible pages.
- HTML content uses absolute links in the feed.
KEEP THIS IN MIND
RSS is a syndication format, not proof of ownership and not an email-delivery service. Reuse and distribution still need appropriate editorial decisions.
Where is the ArticleAPI.com feed?
