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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Connect the platform, set the schedule and rules — posts are then prepared and published without your involvement.
