Autoposting to Dzen

Articles via RSS feed, up to 65 536 characters

Dzen is the only platform without a publishing API: the channel itself pulls content from an RSS feed that the platform provides at a permanent address. The format, however, is the most flexible: a full-fledged article with markup and the largest text limit among all platforms.

Platform capabilities for this channel

Publishing via RSS feed

The platform assembles a feed with ready-made articles, covers, and the channel signature. No token is required — only the channel name is specified when connecting.

Article markup

Subheadings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, emphasis, and links — from Dzen's whitelist of tags. The platform checks markup before publication and does not put into the feed articles with tags that the platform does not accept.

Custom domain

Links in the feed can lead to your website: the platform assembles a PHP script that serves the feed, article pages, a sitemap, and a verification page.

Long-form content

Text limit — 65 536 characters. These are long reads, reviews, and analyses, not short posts.

Article cover

Limits are based on the platform requirements. The platform does not truncate text beyond the limit: the post is rejected before publication with a clear reason, so an incomplete thought never reaches the channel.

Connection requirements

  • A channel on Dzen and a verification code for website ownership from Dzen Studio.
  • Custom domain — optional: without it, links lead to the platform's domain.

  2. 2Copy the provided RSS feed address.
  3. 3Paste the verification code from Dzen Studio in the account settings, and if you need a custom domain — download the PHP script and place it in the website root.
  4. 4Specify the feed address in Dzen Studio and create a project with a schedule.

FAQ

Why does an article not appear in Dzen immediately?

Dzen crawls the feed itself according to its own schedule. Publication in the platform means the material has been added to the feed; the platform determines the actual release time.

Is it possible for the channel to link to my website?

Yes. Specify your domain in the account settings and place the ready-made PHP script in the website root: it serves both the feed and the article pages, without which channel moderation will not pass.

What markup is allowed in an article?

Paragraphs, second- and third-level subheadings, bold and italic, strikethrough and underline, quotes, numbered and regular lists, links. Line breaks, tables, and images in the article body are not accepted by Dzen.
