# RSS & Atom feeds

Source: https://instatus.com/help/status-page/notifications/rss

Your status page can publish incidents and maintenances as a feed, so customers can follow updates in a feed reader without subscribing with their email or phone number.

Both formats carry the same history — pick whichever your feed reader or internal tooling prefers.

## Enable the feeds

Login to Instatus from [instatus.com/login](https://dashboard.instatus.com/login) then choose your status page.

1. Go to **Status page → Notifications**
2. Turn on **RSS & Atom**
3. Click **Save**

One toggle controls both formats. **RSS** and **Atom** will now show up in the **Get updates** menu on your status page.

## Feed URLs

```bash
your-status-page-url/history.rss
your-status-page-url/history.atom
```

Examples are [https://instat.us/history.rss](https://instat.us/history.rss) and [https://instat.us/history.atom](https://instat.us/history.atom)

Each item is one incident or maintenance, newest first, and includes its affected components, its duration once it's over, and every update posted to it.

If **RSS & Atom** is turned off, both feeds return a 404. On a private page, they're only served to visitors who can already access the page.
