# RSS

You can use the RSS connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from RSS and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the RSS Connector

To enable Sync to use data from RSS, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **RSS** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the RSS connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to RSS

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Auth Token:** Enter the authorization token that you use authentication to RSS.
* **URI:** Enter the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for your RSS feed.
* **Auth Scheme:** Select the authorization scheme that you use for HTTP authentication:
  * **None**
  * **Basic** (default)
  * **Digest**
  * **NTLM**
  * **Negotiate**

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
2. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
