I've created feed type, but can not find way how to start import (and set url). I expected it in local menu on feed type, in types list or at /import (like D7).

It is indeed a bit hidden still. We should make it more visible so turning this into a feature request.

To trigger an import, you need to add a "feed" of a certain feed type first. In the D8 version, there is no more the difference of attaching an importer to a content type or using the standalone import form. Instead there is thus "feed type" which equals "importer" in D7 and "feed" which sort of equals "feed node" in D7.

Go to Administration > Content > Feeds (http://ww.example.com/admin/content/feed) and add a Feed (http://ww.example.com/feed/add).

Hello, I am unable to add a feed... I have set up a feed type, but on the feed content page at "(http://ww.example.com/admin/content/feed)" I get this message "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

@kemi
Turn on error reporting (Admin > Settings > Development > Error reporting) or check logs (Admin > Reports > Recent log messages) to see what kind of error occured. Then check in this issue queue if that error has already been reported or open a new issue. It would be useful to see an export of your feed configuration. You can export your configuration at admin/config/development/configuration/single/export.
