Overview of RSS#

With the RSS API you have the power to create powerful tools and applications.
RSS is a great way to reliably subscribe to, track and build around your
favorite content sources. Here are some examples of things you can create
using the RSS API:

A personal news website to syndicate articles from multiple sources.
A custom feed reader to deliver timely notifications of updates and news.
A live editorial dashboard to track news, trends and public sentiment.
An automated “report bot” to aggregate and report on news topics.
A competitor tracking tool to stay on top of industry news.
A custom RSS-based search engine or RSS-supported deep learning engine.
A live events feed to notify users and followers of new developments.

  props: {
    rss: {
      type: "app",
      app: "rss",

    // 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")
    }

Troubleshooting

Google Advanced Protection Program must be disabled in order to use the Google Drive app on Pipedream.

If you encounter the error "Google cannot give this app access to your account data because Advanced Protection is turned on for your Google Account", you will need to disable this setting as it blocks third-party apps from accessing Google Drive.

Connect Google Drive#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    google_drive: {
      type: "app",
