RSS and Atom feeds

A public feed of incidents per status page.

Every public status page exposes a feed of its recent incidents. There is no setup and no recipient list: anyone can subscribe a reader, or pipe the feed into a tool that accepts RSS or Atom.

Feed URLs

For a page at status.example.com:

  • Atom: https://status.example.com/feed.atom
  • RSS 2.0: https://status.example.com/feed.rss

Each lists the page's recent incidents in reverse chronological order, with a title, the current status, and the severity.

What appears

The feed mirrors what a logged-out visitor sees on the page:

  • Only public pages serve a feed. A page restricted by password, IP allowlist, or a customer scope does not, because a feed cannot carry per-visitor authentication.
  • Only public incidents appear. Customer-scoped incidents are never included.

Caching

Feeds are cached for one minute and support conditional requests, so readers that poll frequently get a cheap 304 Not Modified between updates.
