What is an RSS feed?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed format that lets you subscribe to content updates from websites without visiting them directly. An RSS reader periodically fetches the feed URL and displays new articles in a single unified inbox. Google News exposes RSS feeds for its aggregated content, making it possible to follow a specific site, topic, or country's top stories in any standard RSS client.

Tool description

This tool generates a Google News RSS feed URL based on your chosen feed type, country, and language. You can create three types of feeds: a site feed that tracks all Google News coverage of a specific domain, a keyword feed that follows any search query, or a top stories feed for the most prominent headlines in a given region. The resulting URL can be pasted into any RSS reader.
