Curiosity

RSS / Atom

Polls one or more RSS or Atom feeds and ingests their items as _WebPage nodes. Optionally crawls the linked URL of each entry and stores the full article body.

Element Mapped to
Feed _Feed
Item / entry _WebPage

Categories / tags _Tag
Linked article body (when crawl enabled) Text content on the _WebPage

Authentication

  • Type: Anonymous (a custom User-Agent header can be set).
  • Some private feeds support HTTP Basic auth via the URL; the connector will pass it through if present.

Access control mapping

  • Feed items are public — they land on _AccessGroup.Public.

Sync cadence

  • Default cron: every 15 minutes (configurable per feed).
  • Incremental sync: entry-ID dedup (guid for RSS, id for Atom). Items with a known ID are skipped; modified entries are detected via <updated> / pubDate.

Notable

  • Per-feed source-prefix string lets you namespace ingested items in the graph (e.g. tech-news/).
  • Optional full-article crawl: when enabled, the connector fetches the linked URL and stores the rendered body so search can index more than the feed summary.
