Overview of RSS#
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.
Connect RSS#
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
rss: {
type: "app",
app: "rss",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// Retrieve items from a sample feed
const Parser = require('rss-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const stories = []
// Replace with your feed URL
const url = "https://pipedream.com/community/latest.rss"
const feed = await parser.parseURL(url);
const { title, items } = feed
this.title = title
if (!items.length) {
$end("No new stories")
}
this.items = items
},
})
Overview of Canvas#
The Canvas API allows you to tap into the power of the Canvas Learning Management System, enabling educators and administrators to automate tasks, synchronize educational tools, and manage courses and users programmatically. It provides endpoints for accessing course information, user details, assignments, and more, which can be incredibly useful for creating customized educational experiences and streamlining administrative workflows. With Pipedream, you can harness these capabilities to trigger actions, connect with other apps and services, and create complex automations without writing extensive code.
