# Medium RSS Feed: Every URL Format, Tested (2026) > Find the Medium RSS feed for any profile, publication or tag. We fetched each URL format on 8 October 2026: 10 items per feed, member-only stories cut short. Published by Hushread, 2026-10-08. Canonical: https://hushread.com/blog/medium-rss-feed *Disclosure: Hushread is our app. We've tried to be fair, and we say where the others are the better choice.* Medium has RSS feeds for writers, publications and tags. Put `/feed` right after `medium.com`: `https://medium.com/feed/@username` for a writer, `https://medium.com/feed/publication-name` for a publication, and `https://medium.com/feed/tag/tag-name` for a tag. A publication on its own domain uses `https://thatdomain.com/feed`. Every feed we fetched on 8 October 2026 held 10 stories. The member-only stories we checked arrived as a short snippet, not the full text, and tag feeds carried snippets only. ## The Medium RSS feed URL formats Medium's help center lists five supported feeds: profile, publication, custom domain publication, tagged pages in a publication, and topic pages ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214874118-Using-RSS-feeds-of-profiles-publications-and-topics)). ![Medium Help Center article listing the supported RSS feed URL schemes for profiles, publications, custom domains, tagged pages in a publication and topic pages](/blog-img/medium-rss-feed/help-article.webp) *Medium's help article on RSS feeds, 8 October 2026. Source: [help.medium.com](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214874118-Using-RSS-feeds-of-profiles-publications-and-topics)* Written out with real examples, all of which returned a feed for us: **A writer's profile.** Keep the `@`: ``` https://medium.com/feed/@ev https://ev.medium.com/feed ``` **A publication on medium.com:** ``` https://medium.com/feed/blog ``` **A publication on its own domain:** ``` https://netflixtechblog.com/feed ``` **One tag inside a publication:** ``` https://medium.com/feed/netflix-techblog/tagged/machine-learning ``` **Everything on Medium with a tag:** ``` https://medium.com/feed/tag/rss ``` ## What we tested on 8 October 2026 We requested each URL logged out, with a plain script and no browser. Each row below returned HTTP 200 and an RSS 2.0 feed unless it says otherwise. | URL we fetched | What came back | |---|---| | `medium.com/feed/@ev` | 10 stories, all full text, dated September 2021 to December 2024 | | `ev.medium.com/feed` | The same 10 stories, same file size | | `medium.com/@ev/feed` | The same feed. Medium's help page does not list this form | | `medium.com/feed/ev` (no `@`) | 404 | | `medium.com/feed/blog` | 10 stories from 10 September to 7 October 2026: 9 full text, 1 snippet | | `netflixtechblog.com/feed` | 10 stories, all full text, 29 June to 25 September 2026 | | `medium.com/feed/netflix-techblog` | The same feed as the custom domain | | `uxdesign.cc/feed` | 10 stories from 4 to 7 October 2026: 5 full text, 5 snippets | | `medium.com/feed/netflix-techblog/tagged/machine-learning` | 10 stories, all full text, November 2025 to August 2026 | | `netflixtechblog.com/feed/tagged/machine-learning` | Two redirects, then the same tagged feed | | `medium.com/feed/tag/rss` | 10 stories from 9 September to 7 October 2026, all snippets | | `medium.com/feed/tag/technology` | 10 stories published within about 20 minutes of each other, all snippets | | `medium.com/feed/topic/technology` | A redirect to `/feed/tag/technology` | Four things follow from that. **Every feed stopped at 10 stories.** Not one of the feeds held more. For a writer who posts rarely, 10 stories reached back to September 2021. For UX Collective, 10 stories covered about three days. **Busy tags move too fast for RSS.** When we fetched the `technology` tag feed, its 10 stories had been published between 00:29 and 00:49 GMT that day, about 20 minutes. The feed's response header told clients to cache it for 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes. A reader that checks once an hour will see a small sample of a tag like that, not all of it. A narrow tag is different: the `rss` tag's 10 stories covered four weeks. **The tag feeds carried no full stories.** All 20 items across the two tag feeds were a sentence or two, usually with a picture, and a "Continue reading on Medium »" link (or the name of the publication in place of "Medium"). We did not check which of those stories are member-only, so we can't say the paywall is the reason. **The `@` matters, the position of `/feed` less so.** Without the `@`, the address is in the form Medium uses for publications, and it returned a 404. Putting `/feed` after the profile name worked too, but only the form with `/feed` first is in Medium's documentation, so use that one. ## Member-only stories in the feed Medium's help page says it in one line: "Stories behind the Medium paywall are not available as full stories in any RSS feeds" ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214874118-Using-RSS-feeds-of-profiles-publications-and-topics)). That matched what we saw. In the feed for Medium's own blog, nine stories had their whole text inside the feed. The tenth, "Choose your own Medium Day adventure", had a picture, the single sentence "Our virtual festival allows you to build your own lineup." and a "Continue reading on The Medium Blog »" link. On the site, that story carries a "Member-only story" label ([The Medium Blog](https://medium.com/blog/choose-your-own-medium-day-adventure-7398de4ff01c)). ![The Medium Blog story Choose your own Medium Day adventure with a Member-only story label above its title](/blog-img/medium-rss-feed/member-story.webp) *The story that arrived as a snippet in the feed, as it appears on Medium logged out, 8 October 2026. Source: [medium.com](https://medium.com/blog/choose-your-own-medium-day-adventure-7398de4ff01c)* We checked that story against the site, and one of the five UX Collective snippets, which carries the same label ([UX Collective](https://uxdesign.cc/beyond-streaks-and-nudges-ethical-gamification-ai-design-1c4f6e8ef2cc)). We did not open the other four, so we can't say each is member-only, only that they had the same shape. So in the profile and publication feeds we fetched, free stories came as full text and the member-only ones we checked came as a title and a teaser. How much of a feed is which depends on the writer or publication: none of the 10 items in the Netflix feed were snippets, and half of UX Collective's were. There is no private feed for members that we could find. Searching Medium's help center for "rss" returned the feeds article above and one about importing, nothing about a member feed. To read a member-only story you click through and sign in with a membership, which Medium lists at $5 a month or $50 a year ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004545567-Become-a-Medium-Member)). One exception is the Friend Link. Medium says a Friend Link "gives anyone free access to your story" even if they are not a member, and that authors get one for every paywalled story ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006543813-About-Friend-Links)). The links in the feed are ordinary story links, not Friend Links. ## How to find the feed for any Medium page 1. Open the profile or publication and look at the address bar. 2. If it starts with `medium.com/@name`, the feed is `medium.com/feed/@name`. 3. If it is `name.medium.com`, the feed is `name.medium.com/feed`. Medium says a profile with a subdomain redirects from the `medium.com/@name` address ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004746707-Your-profile-page-URL)), and both feed addresses returned the same thing for us. 4. If it starts with `medium.com/some-name` with no `@`, that is a publication: `medium.com/feed/some-name`. 5. If it is another domain entirely, add `/feed`. Medium lets members connect a domain or subdomain to a profile or publication ([Medium Help](https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003053487-Setting-up-a-custom-domain-for-your-profile-or-publication)), which is why some Medium blogs don't look like Medium at all. Paste the feed URL itself into your reader, not the page address. Many readers can find a feed from a normal web address, but Medium made that harder: when our script asked for the profile page `medium.com/@ev`, Medium's Cloudflare protection answered with a 403 "Attention Required" page, with or without a browser user agent, and a story page got a 403 as well. The feed URLs answered every time. A reader that fetches from a server may hit the same wall on the page and never see the feed link, so give it the feed. Not sure a site is on Medium? The feeds name it: each one we fetched has `Medium` near the top. For sites on other platforms, see [how to find the RSS feed of any website](/blog/find-rss-feed-of-any-website). ## Using a Medium feed in a reader Any reader that takes a feed URL will take these. Our [best RSS reader guide](/blog/best-rss-reader) compares the main ones. Feedly's help page gives the same patterns, with one difference: for topics it shows `medium.com/feed/topic/fiction` ([Feedly docs](https://docs.feedly.com/article/351-how-to-add-rss-feeds-for-medium)). Medium documents `/feed/tag/`, and when we requested the `/feed/topic/` form Medium redirected it to `/feed/tag/`. Both work today; the `tag` form is the documented one. In Hushread, paste the feed URL into the add source box and tap Add from link ([docs](/docs/add-a-source)). The free plan holds 5 sources. Hushread does not get around paywalls, so member-only stories show the same snippet there. If you also follow newsletters, the picture on Substack is similar, with different numbers: see our [Substack RSS feed guide](/blog/substack-rss-feed). ## FAQ ### What is the Medium RSS feed URL? Add `/feed` straight after `medium.com`: `https://medium.com/feed/@username` for a writer and `https://medium.com/feed/publication-name` for a publication. For a profile on a subdomain or a publication on its own domain, add `/feed` to the end of the domain. ### How do I get the RSS feed for a Medium publication? Use `https://medium.com/feed/publication-name`, or `https://customdomain.com/feed` if the publication has its own domain. To follow one tag within it, use `https://medium.com/feed/publication-name/tagged/tag-name`. ### Is there a Medium tag RSS feed? Yes: `https://medium.com/feed/tag/tag-name`. In our test on 8 October 2026 the two tag feeds we fetched held 10 recent stories as short snippets with a link, none with the full text, and a busy tag filled all 10 slots in about 20 minutes. ### Does the Medium RSS feed include member-only stories? They are listed, but not in full. Medium states that paywalled stories are not available as full stories in any RSS feed, and the member-only story we looked at most closely arrived as a picture, one sentence and a "Continue reading" link. ### How many posts does a Medium RSS feed show? Ten in every feed we fetched on 8 October 2026, whether it was a profile, a publication or a tag. Medium's help page does not state a number, so treat 10 as what we observed, not a promise. If the writers you follow publish free stories, their profile and publication feeds carried the full text in our test, so you can read them without opening Medium. If most of what you read there is member-only, a membership and the Medium app will serve you better than RSS: the feed can only tell you a story exists.
