Real Simple Syndication
Retrieve multiple RSS feeds and return a merged array of items sorted by date See documentation
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.
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
},
})
The HTML 2 PDF API allows you to convert HTML documents to PDFs. In Pipedream, you can integrate this API into workflows to automate document generation tasks. This can be incredibly useful for generating reports, invoices, or any other document where you start with HTML and need a PDF output. You can trigger these conversions with various events – like a new form submission, a scheduled trigger, or even updates in a database.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
html_2_pdf: {
type: "app",
app: "html_2_pdf",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.html2pdf.co.uk/`,
params: {
license: `${this.html_2_pdf.$auth.license_key}`,
url: `https://example.com`,
},
})
