Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

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.

Trigger Code#

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-random-item-in-multiple-feeds",

    props: {
        ...rssCommon.props,
        urls: {
            propDefinition: [
                rss,
                "urls",
            ],
        },
    },
    dedupe: "unique",
    hooks: {
        async activate() {
            // Try to parse the feed one time to confirm we can fetch and parse.
            // The code will throw any errors to the user.
            for (const url of this.urls) {
                await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            }
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const items = [];
        for (const url of this.urls) {
            const feedItems = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            items.push(...feedItems);
        }
        const item = items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)];
        const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
        this.$emit(item, meta);
    },
});

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URLs	`urls`	`string[]`	Enter either one or multiple URLs from any public RSS feed

Trigger Authentication#

The RSS API does not require authentication.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Ironclad	`ironclad`	`app`	This component uses the Ironclad app.
Template ID	`templateId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

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