Thanks James for your quickly reply.

Could also I consider using Feedzirra? Between two which one is better?

You may want to check out The Ruby Toolbox - Atom & RSS Feed Parsing - it shows Feedzirra as the most downloaded feed parsing gem but that doesn't necessarily mean it is the best one for your needs. Have a look at the rest.

Using Superfeedr's Rails Engine is probably the easiest way to consume RSS feed in your Rails application without offline workers or queues.
