If you have your articles' feed in JSON format instead of as an RSS feed, you can still add them to your MAZ app. To add a JSON feed to incorporate article content into your mobile app, get started here!

Navigate to the Section you would like to add the JSON feed.
Click on +Content, +Feed, then +JSON.

3. Enter the following information in their respective fields:

Name (Internal facing)
Feed URL
Title (External)
Subtitle (External)
Description (External)
PDF Upload*

*PDF Upload Note: If the JSON feed is a web-based replica of a printed edition/issue of a magazine, you can upload the PDF for the edition/issue here to allow compliance with AAM circulation regulations for digital editions.

4. In the next form you see, fill in the metadata for the content menu you are adding to your app and save the form. For example, access, cover date, release date, download options etc.

Find our JSON feed specifications below!
