Agility can syndicate any content by using a URL based RSS API. Below is the path with a list of the fields.

Path

ecmsrss.aspx/<ContentReferenceName>.xml

Query String Properties

Property	Value	Example
Lang	Language Code	En-us
Sort	Expression	title
Count	Integer	5
Filter	Expression	Title ="New"
Link	The path to a link resolver	https://{site}/blog/blog-dynamic-page
Query	Querystring to use with link resolver	contentid
TitleField	Field to use for the RSS Title	Title
DescriptionField	Field to use for the RSS Description	RichTextArea

Example:

Generate an RSS feed using fields from the content definition

/ecmsrss.aspx/BlogPosts.xml?Lang=en-us&descriptionfield=BlogContent&
Link=https://{site}/blog/blog-details&Query=contentid&TitleField=Title

Which results in an output such as:

<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>Blog Posts</title>
        <description>Blog Posts</description>
        <link>https://{site}/blog/blog-details</link>
        <language>en-us</language>
