In this post, we will learn how to read an RSS feed and automate this process by using Knime.
Before we dive into this, let's remember what RSS actually means :
RSS is a web feed that allows users and applications to access
updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format.

In our example, with the RSS feed of our blog, you will be able to see our blog posts with their link and creation date at anytime you run it. So you will not miss any content created.
First, we need the URL of the RSS feed. In our example, we can click the the icon on the screenshot below and copy the URL on the opening tab:
https://bifiblogs.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Then download the Knime workflow created by BI-FI Blogs from the link below or drag it to your Knime Workflow Editor.

After you open the workflow, it should look like the image above. Now, if you want to use another RSS feed, you can paste that URL to the "Table Creator" node and run the worklow.
We will continue with the RSS feed of our blog from the first step. From now on, all you have to do is run the entire workflow. and read the table view like image below.
You can see all the latest blogs and their links everytime you run the workflow :
