using the RSS API:

A personal news website to syndicate articles from multiple sources.
A custom feed reader to deliver timely notifications of updates and news.
A live editorial dashboard to track news, trends and public sentiment.
An automated “report bot” to aggregate and report on news topics.
A competitor tracking tool to stay on top of industry news.
A custom RSS-based search engine or RSS-supported deep learning engine.
A live events feed to notify users and followers of new developments.
