This file contains RSS feeds for various categories. To add a new category or modify existing ones, follow this structure: Adding a new category • Create a new object with the category name as the key • Add a "feeds" array containing the RSS feed URLs for that category • Ensure proper JSON formatting (commas between objects, no trailing comma) All categories are created equal and will appear as top level categories in the Kagi News app. Ideas for categories: • Local news (city/state level) • Regional news (country/region) • Topical news (health, machine learning, aviation ...) Guidelines for adding RSS feeds Kagi News does not scrape websites, but only publicly available RSS feeds. When adding an RSS feed make sure to: • Check that feed is working and has recent (daily) content. • Choose sources that have high quality content. Do not use low quality/gossip/SEO content. • **Feeds can be in any language.** Kagi News translates all content automatically, so a single category can (and should) contain feeds in multiple languages. Do not create separate categories for different languages (e.g. "Switzerland (DE)" and "Switzerland (FR)") — keep everything in one category. The field in should be set to the language used by the majority of feeds; its exact value is not critical. Important We require at least **25 feeds** for a category in order to surface it in Kagi News. This is to make sure we maintain high level of quality of events covered in the app. The more high quality feeds exist for a category, the better Kagi News coverage will be. Kagi News does not scrape news websites, it only uses publicly available information in RSS feeds. Core Feeds Kagi News's official core feeds are fully open source and available in .
