Integrate the RSS API with the Node API
Setup the RSS API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate RSS and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular RSS and Node Actions#
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
Retrieve multiple RSS feeds and return a merged array of items sorted by date See documentation
Overview of RSS#
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.
Connect RSS#
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
},
})
Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
