Solved: Re: Connecting to RSS Feed

NehaVageriya · ‎10-13-2016

I have been triying to connect to RSS Feed for a website but couldnt understand how to. I used Web connection but found out its just read data from that page.

Have seen just one previous similar post (which says its solved) but couldnt find a solution on it.

Can anyone help me how do I connect to RSS feed please in powerBI

I would think that since RSS is just XML, you should be able to use the XML connector to connect to an RSS feed. I tested this and even though the XML connector brings up a file dialog, you can paste in an HTML link and connect to it successfully and expand its XML as needed.

That's a method I tried before coming to search here. No dice for me.
