Using RSS with Trac

Several of the Trac modules support content syndication using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) XML format. Using the RSS subscription feature in Trac, you can easily monitor progress of the project, a set of issues or even changes to a single file .

Trac supports RSS feeds in:

  • Trac Timeline -- Use the RSS feed to subscribe to project events.
    Monitor overall project progress in your favorite RSS reader.
  • Trac Reports -- Allows syndication of report results.
    Be notified about important and relevant issue tickets.
  • Trac Browser -- Syndication of file changes.
    Stay up to date with changes to a specific file.

How to access RSS data

Anywhere in Trac where RSS is available, you should find a small orange 'XML' icon, typically at the bottom of the page. Clicking the icon will access the RSS feed for that specific module.

Note: Different modules provide different data in their RSS feeds. Usually, the syndicated information corresponds to the current view. For example, if you click the RSS link on a report page, the feed will be based on that report. It might be explained by thinking of the RSS feeds as an alternate view of the data currently displayed.
