X (Twitter) RSS,
from Narro.

Narro is a user-curated social media app. Add the profiles you follow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn — Narro shows their posts in order, with no algorithm, ads, or tracking.

X retired native RSS in 2013. Most workarounds since have broken. Narro keeps X feeds maintained.

Follow X without the doomscroll.

The short answer

Yes, you can get an RSS feed for X (formerly Twitter). X removed native RSS in June 2013. Most third-party replacements broke in 2023 when X repriced API access, and the rest broke in January 2024 when X eliminated the guest-account mechanism Nitter depended on. Narro generates a maintained RSS feed for any public X account, including reposts, quote posts, and replies, in chronological order.

Stay informed without being always online.

A short history of Twitter RSS

What worked, when, and what killed it.

  1. 2008

    Twitter ships native RSS

    Per-user RSS feeds under API v1, at /statuses/user_timeline/USER.rss. Every public account was a feed.

  2. June 2013

    API v1 retired

    Twitter shuts down v1 and removes RSS, ATOM, and XML response formats. Only JSON survives in v1.1.

  3. 2013-2022

    The third-party era

    TwitRSS.me, RSS-Bridge, Tweetledee, Feedly Pro+ and Inoreader's paid Twitter features fill the gap. Most ride on v1.1 access.

  4. 2023

    The wipeout

    Elon Musk's API repricing in February-April 2023 kills almost everything. Inoreader stops updating on March 30. Feedly retires Twitter integration in April. TwitRSS.me breaks soon after.

  5. January 2024

    Nitter loses guest accounts

    X removes guest-account creation, the unauthenticated mechanism Nitter depended on. Within roughly thirty days, almost every public instance goes dark.

  6. 2025

    Partial revival

    A small set of Nitter instances returns in February 2025 with session-token workarounds. Reliability is uneven and instance lists churn.

The workaround graveyard

Tools that used to work. What happened to each.

ToolWhat happened
TwitRSS.meBroken (2023). Homepage says "Coming soooon". GitHub points to Mastodon.
Nitter (public instances)Mostly dark since January 2024. Partial revival in 2025; reliability per instance.
Feedly Pro / Pro+ Twitter integrationRetired April 2023. Enterprise-only now, requires customer API key.
Inoreader Twitter feedsStopped updating March 30, 2023. Not restored.
RSS-Bridge Twitter bridgeDisabled on most public hosts after the 2023 API changes.
Bird (bird.makeup)Twitter-to-ActivityPub bridge; inherits Nitter-style brittleness.
IFTTT / Zapier Twitter triggersLargely removed in the 2023 lockdown.

What works in 2026

For the technical: self-hosted Nitter or RSS-Bridge

Both can work if you maintain them yourself. Expect to debug session tokens, watch for X changes that break the markup, and accept regular outages. Real cost in time.

For everyone else: Narro

Narro maintains the integration as a product. Single stable URL for each RSS feed. Continuous updates. No instance maintenance, no scraping, no breakage when X changes its markup.

X / Twitter RSS, common questions

Is there an RSS feed for X (Twitter)?
Not natively. Twitter offered per-user RSS feeds from 2008 until June 2013, when they were retired alongside the v1 API. Most third-party replacements have broken since the 2023 API repricing. Narro provides a maintained RSS feed for any public X account.
When did Twitter kill RSS?
June 11, 2013. Twitter retired API v1, and RSS, ATOM, and XML response formats died with it. Only JSON survived in v1.1.
Why did every Twitter RSS tool break in 2023?
X repriced API access in February to April 2023, eliminating the free tier most third-party tools depended on. Inoreader's Twitter feeds stopped updating on March 30, 2023. Feedly retired its Twitter integration for Pro and Pro+ in April 2023.
Is Nitter still working in 2026?
A handful of public Nitter instances are functional as of late 2025, using session-token workarounds. Reliability is uneven and instance lists churn. The original "guest account" mechanism that powered Nitter from 2022 through January 2024 is gone.
What happened to TwitRSS.me?
TwitRSS.me stopped generating feeds in 2023 after X changed its web filtering. The homepage now reads "Coming soooon" and the GitHub README points users to Mastodon.
Does Feedly still support Twitter or X feeds?
Feedly retired its Twitter integration for Pro and Pro+ customers in April 2023 and pushed it to Enterprise-only, requiring customers to bring their own paid X API key.
Did Inoreader's Twitter integration come back?
No. Inoreader announced on March 30, 2023 that Twitter feeds stopped updating, and the integration has not been restored.
Does Narro's X feed include retweets, quote posts, and replies?
Yes. Narro includes original posts, reposts, quote posts, and replies the author wrote, with media thumbnails and post permalinks. Chronological order, no For You ranking.
Can I follow X Premium-only or protected accounts?
No. Narro reads public X accounts only. Protected accounts and Premium-gated content are not accessible.
How often does the X feed update?
Narro polls X accounts continuously through a paid API provider, so new posts typically appear in your RSS reader within minutes of publication.
Can I read my X feed in Reeder, NetNewsWire, or Readwise Reader?
Yes. Narro produces standard RSS, so every major reader works, including Reeder, NetNewsWire, Readwise Reader, Feedly, and Inoreader.
Why does Narro charge for X when older tools were free?
X API access has a real cost now. The free tools broke because they could not absorb it. Narro pays for sanctioned API access and maintains the integration as a product, which is the only model that survives X's ongoing changes.

Open Narro instead.
