I have a web app that generates RSS feeds. I would like to offer users the ability to subscribe to these RSS feeds by email.

I know I can use Feedburner to manually burn my feeds and offer email subscriptions. The problem is I offer hundreds of RSS feeds and don’t want to manually burn a feed just for this one feature.

Does anyone know of a service or API (preferably free) that allows you to create an RSS feed to email sign up on the fly? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

You can use the Feedburner Managment API to programatically burn your feeds - and then enable email subscription.

  • thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Do you know of any other alternatives? Thanks again – Ace Feb 05 '10 at 00:50
  • Truthfully Feedburner has kind of crushed the market. The only other service I'm aware of is http://www.feedmyinbox.com/webmasters/ but there is a open source app you can download and use: http://rss2email.infogami.com/ – Mike Buckbee Feb 05 '10 at 01:20
  • Feedburner API is now deprecated... do you know something about it? I want to burn feeds programmatically. Thanks! – Beto Aveiga Sep 14 '12 at 21:06
