crssnt is an open-source RSS feed generator for Google Sheets. With crssnt, you can create your own custom RSS feed from any data source that you can get displayed in a (public) Google Sheet:
- existing RSS feeds
- websites and APIs
- data from manual input
- data from Sheets add-ons
- etc.
The easiest way to generate an RSS feed with crssnt is to add https://crssnt.com/preview/ to the beginning of your public Google Sheet URL, like this:
https://crssnt.com/preview/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wgHZMH8-kQsC0z38mnrfGpR1cgQE7yu2kUQB9On9iJw
There is more details in this blog post.
No personal data is being stored while using the crssnt feed generator. Some general usage data such as date and time of the request as well as the underlying Google Sheet ID are stored for analytics purposes. You can disable the Sheet ID logging by adding &logging=false to the end of the crssnt feed URL.
