with RSS and Proxy Spider?
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 Proxy Spider API lets you scrape and gather data from the web without the usual hassle of IP blocks or CAPTCHAs. By leveraging Pipedream's integration capabilities, you can automate the extraction of web data and manage proxy pools seamlessly. This means you can focus on what to do with the data you gather, rather than worrying about the technicalities of acquiring it. Within Pipedream's serverless platform, you could set up workflows that trigger based on a variety of events and use the Proxy Spider API to fetch data as needed.
