JetBrains Blog RSS Support Is Now Generally Available

Anastasiia Korzhova

We’re excited to announce that RSS feed support for blog.jetbrains.com and all JetBrains product blogs is now generally available. After months of development and rigorous testing across 47 RSS readers on 6 platforms, we’re proud to deliver a reliable, standards-compliant way for you to read JetBrains content in the environment of your choice.

What You Get

• Full-text articles — Each feed item includes a plain-text summary and the full HTML article body. Your reader will render whichever it supports best.
• Per-product feeds — Subscribe to just the blogs that matter to you. Every product has its own URL: blog.jetbrains.com/{product}/feed/
• A combined feed — blog.jetbrains.com/feed/ delivers everything in one place.
• OPML bulk import — Download our OPML file and import all JetBrains feeds into your reader in a single click. We spent a full day ensuring the <dateCreated> element is RFC 822-compliant.
• Conditional GET support — The feed responds to If-Modified-Since and ETag headers, so your reader only downloads new content when it exists.
• Real-time updates — Feeds update on every publish. CDN cache invalidates immediately. We set Cache-Control: max-age=900 as a fallback.

How to Subscribe

1. Open your RSS reader.
2. Look for an “Add Feed” or “Subscribe” option.
3. Paste this URL: https://blog.jetbrains.com/feed/
4. Press Enter. Done. We wrote a nine-step guide anyway. Read it here →

FAQ 

Q: What is RSS?
A: RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a lightweight XML-based protocol we use to deliver blog content directly to your reader application. It was standardized in the early 2000s and has been quietly running the internet’s content infrastructure ever since. We evaluated several syndication options and chose RSS 2.0 for its balance of simplicity and extensibility.

Q: Which readers are supported?
A: We tested against 47 readers. Everything that implements the RSS 2.0 spec works. This includes NetNewsWire, Feedly, Inoreader, Miniflux, Reeder, Newsboat, and Thunderbird. Outlook dropped RSS support in 2019, which we consider a bug on their end.

Q: Can I subscribe to just one product blog?
A: Yes. Every product has its own feed URL: blog.jetbrains.com/{product}/feed/. IntelliJ IDEA, Kotlin, PyCharm, WebStorm, RustRover, GoLand — all of them. Or use the combined feed at blog.jetbrains.com/feed/ if you want everything.

Q: Is there an OPML file I can import?
A: Yes. Download the OPML file → Import it once and you’re subscribed to everything. The <dateCreated> element is RFC 822-compliant — you’re welcome.

Q: Does the feed include full articles or just summaries?
A: Both. Each item has a <description> plain-text summary and an <content:encoded> element with the full HTML article. Your reader will use whichever it supports. Most modern readers show the full content.

Q: How often is the feed updated?
A: On every publish. The CDN cache is invalidated immediately. We set Cache-Control: max-age=900 (15 minutes) as a fallback. We briefly considered WebSocket-based push delivery but decided to respect the protocol’s pull-based philosophy.

Q: Is this free?
A: Yes. It’s an XML file.
