RSS feeds in new twitter


Does anyone know where to find the RSS feeds in the new twitter? I cannot find the rss icon and the source of the page just points to "Your Twitter Favorites" even though I am on the page of the user I want to get an RSS feed from...

Simple I know, but its bugging me to no end!


Solution

  • 2014 edit:

    It looks like Twitter has retired RSS feeds, and now only exports data as JSON:

    What output formats will API v1.1 support?

    API v1.1 will support JSON only. We’ve been hinting at this for some time now, first dropping XML support on the Streaming API and more recently on the trends API. XML, Atom, and RSS are infrequently used today, and we’ve chosen to throw our support behind the JSON format shared across the platform. Consequently, we’ve decided to discontinue support for these other formats. For historical context, when we originally built the API all major languages did not have performant, well vetted libraries supporting JSON - today they do.


    Orignal 2010 answer:

    Here are the various feed URLs (using the account "Twitter" for these examples):
    http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
    http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/Twitter.rss
    http://twitter.com/favorites/Twitter.rss
    http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=Twitter

    The new Twitter layout isn't very RSS-friendly, unfortunately.
