RSS to CSV Converter
This is a simple script to convert RSS feeds into CSV format, suitable for importing into Excel.
Update Feb 2020: I've updated the core process part of this script from PHP running on my shared web host to Python running in the cloud via Azure Functions.
See this original blog post for the historical background: http://www.cantoni.org/2009/12/22/rss-to-csv-converter
Usage
- Browse to http://scooterlabs.com/hacks/rss2csv.php
- Enter the URL of an RSS feed and submit
- The results will automatically download to a file named
export.csv
Limitations
- The script can handle UTF-8 in the source file, but Excel cannot (CSV files don't technically support Unicode)
- Data fields are limited (truncated) to 32,000 characters to avoid hitting Excel's cell size limitation
