Trigger#

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.6

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Fetch Monitor Data on Wachete

Description:Retrieves data from a monitored website or web pages. [See the documentation(https://api.wachete.com/swagger/ui/index/index.html)

Version:0.0.1

Wachete Overview#

The Wachete API lets you track changes in web content and get notified when updates happen. This is handy for monitoring websites for new content, price changes, or availability of products, without manually checking the sites. Using Pipedream, you can integrate Wachete with other apps to automate reactions to these updates. Think about monitoring your competitors’ sites, keeping tabs on industry news, or even watching for job postings. With Wachete on Pipedream, these tasks become set-and-forget operations.

Action Authentication#

Wachete uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Wachete account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Wachete and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Wachete API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
