**Alpha release**

This source is currently in **alpha**. The interface and available tables may change.

The RSS.com connector syncs your podcast hosting data into the PostHog Data warehouse, so you can analyze your podcasts and episodes alongside your product data.

## Prerequisites

You need an RSS.com account on a Network plan – the RSS.com API is only available to Network plan customers. You also need permission to create API keys for your account.

## Adding a data source

1.  In PostHog, go to the [Sources tab](https://app.posthog.com/data-management/sources) of the data pipeline section.
2.  Click **\+ New source** and click **Link** next to this source.
3.  Enter your credentials (see [Configuration](#configuration) below) and click **Next**.
4.  Select the tables you want to sync, choose a sync method and frequency, then click **Import**.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start querying this data in PostHog.

When linking RSS.com, you'll need:

-   **API key** – create one under **Profile → API Access** in your [RSS.com](https://rss.com) account. RSS.com lets you create up to 10 named API keys.

## Sync modes

Each table can be synced in one of several modes, depending on what the source supports:

-   **Webhook** (when available) – the source pushes changes to PostHog in real time. Fastest freshness, lowest ongoing cost, and the only mode that reliably captures updates and deletes.
-   **Incremental** – only new or updated rows are synced on each run, using a cursor field (such as an `updated_at` timestamp). Cheaper than a full refresh, but deletes aren't captured.
-   **Append only** – new rows are appended using a cursor field; existing rows are never updated. Ideal for immutable, append-only tables like event logs.
-   **Full refresh** – the whole table is reloaded on every sync. Use it when a table has no reliable cursor or when you need deletions reflected.

See [sync methods](/docs/cdp/sources.md#sync-methods) for a full explanation of how each mode works and how to choose between them.

This source is full refresh only. The RSS.com API has no server-side timestamp filter, so each sync pulls the complete dataset and merges on the primary key.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Required |
| --- | --- | --- |
| API key | password | Yes |

## Supported tables

| Table | Description | Sync method | Incremental field | Primary key |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| podcasts | A podcast hosted on your RSS.com account. | Full refresh | — | — |
| episodes | An episode of a podcast hosted on your RSS.com account. | Full refresh | — | — |
| categories | A podcast category available on RSS.com (Apple Podcasts taxonomy). | Full refresh | — | — |

The episodes table includes a `podcast_id` column so you can join episodes back to the podcasts table.

## Troubleshooting

-   If you see an authentication error, your API key may be invalid or revoked. Create a new key under **Profile → API Access** in RSS.com, then reconnect.
-   If you see a payment required error, your account is not on an RSS.com Network plan, which the API requires. Upgrade your plan, then reconnect.

If your sync is failing or data looks wrong, see the [Data warehouse troubleshooting guide](/docs/data-warehouse/troubleshooting.md). If that doesn't help, [contact support](https://us.posthog.com/#panel=support%3Asupport%3Adata_warehouse%3A%3Atrue) – we're happy to help.
