RSS feeds are XML files that contain data in a structured format. Begin by examining the RSS feed URL you want to pull data from. Familiarize yourself with the XML structure, identifying key elements such as ``, ``, `

Write a script in your preferred programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript) to fetch the RSS feed. Use HTTP libraries like `requests` in Python or `fetch` in JavaScript to make GET requests to the RSS feed URL. Parse the response to access the XML content.

Once you have the XML data, use an XML parser to extract necessary information. In Python, you might use `xml.etree.ElementTree` or `BeautifulSoup` to parse the XML. Extract relevant information such as item titles, links, and descriptions, which are typically contained within `` elements.

Convert the extracted XML data into a format suitable for Convex. This typically involves creating a JSON-like structure where each RSS item is transformed into a dictionary or object. Ensure that the keys and data types match those expected by your Convex database schema.

Prepare your Convex environment for data insertion. This includes setting up your Convex server and ensuring that your database schema is ready to receive the data. Create tables or collections that correspond to the data structure you prepared in the previous step.

Write a script to insert the transformed data into the Convex database. Use Convex"s API or SDK to programmatically add each item into the appropriate table or collection. Handle errors and ensure that the data is inserted correctly by verifying through test queries.

To keep the data up-to-date, automate the process of fetching and inserting data. Use cron jobs (on Linux) or Task Scheduler (on Windows) to run your script at regular intervals. This ensures that your Convex database is always synchronized with the latest data from the RSS feed.

By following these steps, you can manually transfer data from an RSS feed to a Convex database without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
