Overview

A Twitter (X) RSS feed used to be the simple way for researchers, journalists, investors and founders to follow a set of X accounts in a feed reader, or to send their posts to Slack, email or an AI summary. In 2026 there is no feed from X itself, and most of the free mirrors that made one are gone. This page lists what still works, checked on November 3, 2026, and a way to read X Lists and accounts with your AI agent when you do not need a feed URL.

Does Twitter (X) have an RSS feed?

No. X has no RSS feed for accounts, Lists or searches, and its API is pay-per-use: every post read is billed against credits you buy upfront, and you need a developer app to get a key.

The free workaround was Nitter, an open-source mirror of X where every profile had a feed. Its maintainer's notice on nitter.net says X Corp. sent cease and desist letters on August 24 and September 8, 2026, demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and of the project's repository. On November 3, 2026, nitter.net feeds answered "410 Gone", and xcancel.com, the largest Nitter site, did not answer at all. The feed services that remain are paid past a small free plan, and some only follow public accounts that need no sign-in.

Which Twitter RSS feed options still work in 2026?

Option What you get Cost The catch
Reduck No feed: your agent reads a List, accounts or a search in your signed-in Chrome There is a free tier No feed URL for a reader; it runs when your agent runs
X itself No feed X publishes no RSS feed
nitter.net, xcancel.com Nothing nitter.net answers 410 Gone, xcancel.com does not answer
Other Nitter instances A feed per account (nitter.mie.foundation worked for @NASA) Free Volunteers run them, and they stop without notice
FxTwitter (FxEmbed) https://fxtwitter.com/<handle>/feed.xml, one account per feed (worked for @NASA) Free Its docs list profile feeds only: no Lists, no searches
RSS.app Feeds from public X accounts, Lists, hashtags and searches, plus email digests and Slack, Telegram or Discord bots Free plan: 2 feeds, 24-hour refresh, 5 posts per feed. Basic: $8.32 a month billed yearly ($9.99 monthly), 15 feeds, 60-minute refresh Accounts that need a sign-in to view are not supported
RSSHub (self-hosted) Routes for users, Lists, keywords and more Your server Needs the auth_token cookie of a signed-in X account, or your own pay-per-use X API keys
Feedly X accounts, Lists, hashtags and searches in your Feedly feeds Feedly's Threat Intelligence or Market Intelligence plans You connect your own X API token, and its tweet quota applies

We loaded each feed and status page ourselves on November 3, 2026. RSS.app's prices and limits are from its pricing page, its sign-in limit from its help center, and Feedly's X feature from its documentation, read the same day. RSSHub's setup is from its X (Twitter) route docs on GitHub.

A Nitter alternative without a feed: how Reduck does it

Most people want the posts, not the feed: to read what a set of accounts posted today, or to give it to an AI that sums it up. Reduck's X scripts do that from your agent, with no feed in the middle.

The scripts run in your own Chrome, through the Reduck extension, where you are signed in to X. Your agent reads an X List, newest first, up to 100 posts per call, with each post's author, time, text, link and counts, and reposts marked as reposts. It can also read the latest posts of each account you name, one account per call. Then it gives you the list, a summary by theme, or a file, as you ask.

In a test on November 3, 2026, one call read the 40 newest posts of a public AI List, most of them from the past day, and another read the 10 latest posts of @NASA.

What your agent does

  1. Read the posts of your X List, newest first, or of each account you name
  2. Keep the posts of the past day, or of the period you ask
  3. Give you each post's author, time, text and link
  4. Sum them up by theme, or put them in a file or a sheet, if you ask
  5. Run again tomorrow, from a scheduled task in your agent

How to start

  1. Create a free account at reduck.ai.
  2. Install the Reduck extension in Chrome and pair it.
  3. Connect Reduck to your agent: docs.reduck.ai.
  4. Ask: "Read the posts of the past 24 hours from my X list {list} and from {accounts}. Give me each post's author, time, text and link, newest first, then a short summary by theme."

For a summary every morning, see the X (Twitter) daily digest.

Who it's for

  • Researchers, journalists and investors whose feed reader went quiet when Nitter closed
  • Founders who follow a niche on X through a List
  • Anyone who wants an AI summary of a set of X accounts without the X API

FAQ

No. X publishes no RSS feed for accounts, Lists or searches. To get posts from X in a feed reader, you need a third-party feed service, a mirror such as Nitter, or a server you host yourself, like RSSHub.
The main instance is. On November 3, 2026, nitter.net answered "410 Gone" and xcancel.com, the largest Nitter site, did not answer. A few small instances still work: nitter.mie.foundation gave the feed of @NASA that day. Volunteers run them, and they can stop at any time.
Very few. On November 3, 2026, nitter.mie.foundation gave a working RSS feed for @NASA, nitter.net feeds answered "410 Gone" and xcancel.com did not answer. Working instances change from week to week, so test the feed of one account before you rely on it.
Yes, for one account at a time, while it lasts. On November 3, 2026, https://fxtwitter.com/NASA/feed.xml gave the latest posts of @NASA as RSS 2.0, with no sign-in. FxEmbed's docs list feeds for profiles only, not for Lists or searches. RSS.app's free plan gives 2 feeds, refreshed every 24 hours, with up to 5 posts each.
With a paid service or your own server, yes. RSS.app's help center says it makes feeds from public X Lists, and RSSHub has a List route that needs the auth_token cookie of a signed-in X account or your own pay-per-use X API keys. Reduck does not make a feed: your agent reads the List directly, newest first, up to 100 posts per call.
RSS.app makes feeds from X hashtags and searches, and RSSHub has a keyword route on your own server. FxTwitter's docs list no search feed. With Reduck, your agent runs the search on X itself, with every X search operator, from the Latest tab for the newest posts or the Top tab, up to 100 posts per call.
No. Reduck is not a feed generator, and it gives no URL for a feed reader. Your agent reads the List or the accounts when you ask, in your own Chrome, and gives you the posts or a summary in the chat. If you need a feed URL for a reader, use one of the options in the table.
No. There is no app to create, no key and no credits. You stay signed in to X in your own Chrome, and the Reduck extension runs each script there. Reading a List needs that sign-in; an account's posts can be read signed out, but X then shows only a short preview of the latest posts.
X's rules restrict automation, and no tool can promise that X will never act on an account. These scripts only read: they post nothing and follow nobody. Each one runs only when you or your agent asks, one at a time, in your own browser.
