Ebook Feeds

We offer several ebook feeds that you can use in your ereading app to browse, search, and download from our catalog. You can also add our feeds to your RSS client to get notified of new ebooks as they’re released, or to browse our catalog from your feed reader.

How to access the feeds

Our New Releases RSS/Atom ebook feeds are open to everyone.

Access to our other feeds is a benefit of membership in our Patrons Circle. You can also get access in one of the following ways:

  • Join the Patrons Circle by making a small donation in support of our mission. Patrons have full access to our ebook feeds for the duration of their gift.

  • Produce an ebook for Standard Ebooks to get lifetime access to our ebook feeds. (If you’ve already done that, contact us to enable your access.)

  • Corporate sponsors get access to all of our ebook feeds for the duration of their sponsorship. Contact us to chat about having your organization sponsor our mission.

  • Open source projects can get access to our ebook feeds if they meet certain criteria. Contact us to discuss your open source project.

If you’re a Patrons Circle member, when prompted enter your email address and leave the password field blank to access an ebook feed.

OPDS feeds

OPDS feeds, or “catalogs,” can be added to ereading apps on phones and tablets to search, browse, and download from our ebook catalog, directly in your ereader. Most modern ereading apps support OPDS catalogs.

They’re also perfect for scripting, or for libraries or other organizations who wish to download, process, and keep up to date with our catalog of ebooks.

To connect your ereading app to our catalog, enter the URL below when prompted by your app:

To get an OPDS 2.0 feed, set the Accept HTTP header to application/opds+json.

Rss/Atom feeds

These feeds can be read by any modern RSS reader.

Note that some RSS readers may show ebooks ordered by when they were last updated, even though the feeds are ordered by ebooks were first released. You should be able to change this sort order in your RSS reader.
