Sorting

The sort query parameter controls the order of items in the items array:

  • last_added — items ordered by when they were added to the feed by RSS.app (newest additions first)
  • date — items ordered by their published date (date_published field)

If no sort parameter is provided, the API returns items in the default order.

HTTP 200 with the full feed object.
