Real Simple Syndication
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 Nango API is a bridge for integrating with SaaS apps, smoothing out authentication and API call complexities. On Pipedream, you can harness Nango to automate interactions between various services without getting bogged down by the nuances of OAuth flows or API intricacies. Use Nango to authenticate once, and let Pipedream workflows handle the rest, executing tasks, syncing data, and triggering actions across apps efficiently.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
nango: {
type: "app",
app: "nango",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.nango.dev/config `,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.nango.$auth.nango_secret_key}`,
},
})
},
})
