Feeds

Keeping your portfolio, website, or internal tools in sync with your latest photography should be simple. For that reason, Exposera provides RSS and Atom feeds for every user and album. These feeds offer an open, predictable way to consume photo metadata and media links for public content (no API keys required). Note: private or restricted items are not exposed in public feeds, and media may be served via a proxy or short-lived signed URLs depending on visibility and access controls. Feeds can be used by reader apps, static site generators, serverless automation, or custom integrations — any environment that understands XML and HTTP.

People come to Exposera to share and discover photography that moves them. Our Popular feed exists to highlight the photos our community is enjoying right now, but it’s built around a principle that runs counter to most large-scale social platforms: surface great work without playing attention-economy games.

This sounds simple, but it isn’t. Ranking systems are always value systems. The design of a feed determines which voices are elevated and which are buried. It defines what “success” looks like, and, in subtle ways, it shapes how people create. We designed our Popular feed with that awareness in mind: not as a mechanism to maximize engagement, but as a reflection of what a healthy photography community should look like when discovery is guided by appreciation instead of addiction.
