Openfeed needs a public JSON Feed that describes your photos and who publishes them.

Set up my existing photo feed so it can join Openfeed, a shared photo
feed. Openfeed reads the feed from my site; nothing is uploaded anywhere else.
Requirements:
1. Serve a JSON Feed 1.1 at /photo/feed.json on my domain:
{
"version": "https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1",
"title": "My Name — Photos",
"home_page_url": "https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/",
"feed_url": "https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/feed.json",
"authors": [{
"name": "My Name",
"url": "https://MY-DOMAIN",
"avatar": "https://MY-DOMAIN/avatar.jpg"
}],
"_photoring": { "ring": "openfeed-demo", "creator": "my-stable-handle" },
"items": [{
"id": "https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/some-photo/",
"url": "https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/some-photo/",
"image": "https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/some-photo/full.jpg",
"date_published": "2026-07-04T18:30:00Z",
"_photoring": { "exif": {
"camera": "Fujifilm X-E5", "lens": "XF35mmF1.4 R",
"shutter": "1/6400", "aperture": "ƒ/1.4", "iso": "250", "focal": "35mm"
} }
}]
}
- authors: all three fields are required (name, url, avatar).
- _photoring.ring must be exactly "openfeed-demo"; creator is my permanent
handle in Openfeed — pick once, never change.
- One item per photo, newest first. id + url are the photo's permalink
page on my site; image is the FULL-SIZE file.
- Read EXIF from the ORIGINAL image files at build time — exported or
resized copies usually have it stripped. DateTimeOriginal becomes
date_published (RFC 3339; fall back to file dates only when a file has
no EXIF). Camera, lens, shutter, aperture, iso and focal become
_photoring.exif as in the example (display-formatted strings — include
what the file has, omit the rest; omit the whole object if a file has
no EXIF). Openfeed shows this as an info card on the photo.
- No captions, no thumbnails — Openfeed generates its own sizes.
2. Every photo page should include this in its <head> so the feed is
discoverable from any page URL:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/feed+json"
href="https://MY-DOMAIN/photo/feed.json">
3. The feed must be REGENERATED by my site's build whenever I add a photo —
never hand-edited. Publishing a photo should be: drop the image file,
run one build command, deploy.
When it is deployed and validates, I will submit my feed URL from https://openfeed.photo/#apply.
