# RSS

## Overview

The RSS source allows you to read data from any individual RSS feed.

#### Output schema

This source is capable of syncing the following streams:
* `items`
    * Provides stats about specific RSS items.
    * Most fields are simply kept from RSS items as strings if present (`title`, `link`, `description`, `author`, `category`, `comments`, `enclosure`, `guid`).
    * The date field is handled differently. It's transformed into a UTC datetime in a `published` field for easier use in data warehouses and other destinations.
    * The RSS feed you're subscribing to must have a valid `pubDate` field for each item for incremental syncs to work properly.
    * Since `guid` is not a required field, there is no primary key for the feed, only a cursor on the published date.
