New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

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.

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
Exa (Formerly Metaphor)	`metaphor`	`app`	This component uses the Exa (Formerly Metaphor) app.
Query	`query`	`string`	The query string. On the web, people often recommend content - it's vital that the query takes the form of a declarative suggestion, where a high quality search result link would follow.
Number Of Results	`numResults`	`integer`	Number of search results to return. Default 10. Up to 30 for basic plans. Up to thousands for custom plans.
Include Domains	`includeDomains`	`string[]`	List of domains to include in the search. If specified, results will only come from these domains. Only one of includeDomains and excludeDomains should be specified.
Exclude Domains	`excludeDomains`	`string[]`	List of domains to exclude in the search. If specified, results will only come from these domains. Only one of includeDomains and excludeDomains should be specified.
Start Crawl Date	`startCrawlDate`	`string`	"Crawl date" refers to the date that Metaphor discovered a link, which is more granular and can be more useful than published date. If startCrawlDate is specified, results will only include links that were crawled after startCrawlDate. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ)
End Crawl Date	`endCrawlDate`	`string`	"Crawl date" refers to the date that Metaphor discovered a link, which is more granular and can be more useful than published date. If endCrawlDate is specified, results will only include links that were crawled before endCrawlDate. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ)
Start Published Date	`startPublishedDate`	`string`	If specified, only links with a published date after startPublishedDate will be returned. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Note that for some links, we have no published date, and these links will be excluded from the results if startPublishedDate is specified.
End Published Date	`endPublishedDate`	`string`	If specified, only links with a published date before endPublishedDate will be returned. Must be specified in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). Note that for some links, we have no published date, and these links will be excluded from the results if endPublishedDate is specified.

Get Contents of Documents with the Exa (Formerly Metaphor) API

Retrieve contents of documents based on a list of document IDs. See the documentation. It is used to instantly get content for documents, given the IDs of the documents. We currently support extracts - the first 1000 tokens (~750 words) of parsed HTML for a site. Note that each piece of content retrieved costs 1 request. Also note that instant is a little bit of a lie if you are using keyword search, in which case contents might take a few seconds to retrieve.
