For Agents
Programmatically subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed, list subscriptions, retrieve feed entries, or replay notifications. Covers 2 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed, I want to subscriptions, retrieve feed entries, or replay notifications, Get the current status of Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API resources, List all records from Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools - use for communications only.
Superfeedr provides a real-time feed API based on the PubSubHubbub protocol. Subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds and receive real-time notifications when content is updated. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsuperfeedr.com%2Fsuperfeedr" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsuperfeedr.com%2Fsuperfeedr" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API.
Subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed
List subscriptions, retrieve feed entries, or replay notifications
Integrate Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API into automated workflows
Query and filter Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API records by parameters
Monitor Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed, list subscriptions, retrieve feed entries, or replay notifications.
Call POST / to subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API by hand means handling HTTP basic auth with your login and API token, choosing between the push and stream hosts, and managing retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API from the API Directory, store the basic credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The subscribe and unsubscribe actions carry the feed topic in the request body rather than as a URL path id, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as subscribing to a feed. Unsubscribing is only in reach if you include it in the allowed set.
Credential isolation
Your Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API basic credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'subscribe to a feed' or 'unsubscribe from a feed', and Jentic returns the matching Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API use?
The Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed with the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API?
Yes. Use the POST / endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'subscribe or unsubscribe from a feed'. Jentic returns the matching Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API have?
The Superfeedr PubSubHubbub API exposes 2 endpoints for communications operations.
