Zapier

Connect FeedNest to Zapier workflows using the REST API via Webhooks actions.

Prerequisites

REST API only

Zapier does not support connecting to external MCP servers as a client. Use FeedNest’s REST API via the Webhooks by Zapier action instead.

Setup with Webhooks by Zapier

  1. 1

    Create a new Zap

    Go to zapier.com and create a new Zap with your desired trigger (e.g., Schedule, RSS, Email).

  2. 2

    Add a Webhooks action

    Add a Webhooks by Zapier action step. Choose Custom Request as the event type.

  3. 3

    Configure the request

    Fill in the following fields:

    MethodGET
    URLhttps://feednest.com/api/v1/articles
    HeadersAuthorization: Bearer fn_live_...
  4. 4

    Test the step

    Click Test step to verify the connection. You should see your articles returned as JSON.

Common REST API endpoints

GET /api/v1/articles — list articles

GET /api/v1/feeds — list feeds

GET /api/v1/saved — list saved articles

GET /api/v1/tags — list tags

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/read — mark as read

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/save — save article


Example: Daily digest to Slack

A common workflow: fetch today’s articles and post a summary to Slack.

  1. 1

    Trigger: Schedule (daily)

    Set a Schedule trigger to run every day at your preferred time.

  2. 2

    Action: Webhooks by Zapier

    GET https://feednest.com/api/v1/articles?limit=10 with your API key in the Authorization header. To filter by date, add &date_from=YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601 format). Use Zapier’s built-in Formatter → Date step to generate today’s date dynamically.

  3. 3

    Action: Slack → Send Channel Message

    Format the article titles and links into a Slack message.

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • What are my unread articles?
  • Summarize my latest saved articles
  • How many feeds am I subscribed to?

Troubleshooting

Webhook returns 401 Unauthorized

Ensure the Authorization header is 'Bearer fn_live_...' (with 'Bearer ' prefix and a space). Zapier’s header format is 'Key: Value'.

Empty response

Check the endpoint URL. The base is https://feednest.com/api/v1/ (not /api/mcp). Verify your API key has the required read scope.

Rate limit errors (429)

FeedNest allows 1,000 requests per hour per API key. Space out your Zap triggers accordingly.
