Feedbin
Feedbin is a paid, ad-free RSS reader that pulls newsletters, YouTube channels, and podcasts into one chronological feed alongside your regular subscriptions. Its REST API (api.feedbin.com/v2) authenticates over HTTP Basic Auth with your account email and password rather than OAuth, and every endpoint returns JSON with ETag/Last-Modified caching. There's no perpetual free tier — API access requires an active subscription after a 30-day trial.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
