Does Twitter Support RSS? (RSS Twitter Guide 2025)

No, Twitter (now called X) does not support RSS feeds. There is no official way to get an RSS feed for Twitter profiles, hashtags, or search results.

Twitter removed native RSS support years ago and has not restored it, even under the X rebranding. If you’re trying to follow tweets in an RSS reader, you’ll need to use third-party workarounds, which got even harder with the X api updates.

Alternatives: How to Get Twitter RSS Feeds

While Twitter itself doesn’t offer RSS, here are two popular tools that can generate unofficial RSS feeds from public Twitter content:

1. Nitter

Nitter is an open-source, lightweight front-end for Twitter that includes built-in RSS support.

How to use Nitter for RSS:

1. Visit a public Nitter instance, e.g.:
   https://nitter.net
2. Navigate to a user’s profile:
   https://nitter.net/jack
3. Add /rss to the end:
   https://nitter.net/jack/rss
4. Paste that URL into your RSS reader

⚠️ Note: Public Nitter instances may be blocked or rate-limited by Twitter and also can block bots(including rss reader). For best results, consider self-hosting Nitter.

2. OpenRSS.org

OpenRSS.org is a general-purpose RSS generator for platforms that don’t support RSS natively. You can check the current status here: openrss.org/issue/135

Conclusion

Twitter (X) does not offer RSS feeds, but tools like Nitter and OpenRSS can fill the gap for public content. If you rely on RSS for tracking updates, these are your best options.
