New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

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#

SmugMug Overview#

The SmugMug API provides programmatic access to a user's SmugMug account, allowing them to manage photos, albums, and account settings. With Pipedream, you can automate tasks such as uploading new images, synchronizing photo galleries with other platforms, or triggering actions based on account activity. The API's capabilities paired with Pipedream's serverless platform enable you to craft custom workflows that react to events in SmugMug or orchestrate tasks across multiple apps.

Action Code#

import smugmug from "../../smugmug.app.mjs";
import fs from "fs";
import FormData from "form-data";

export default {
  key: "smugmug-upload-image",
  name: "Upload Image",
  description: "Uploads an image to a SmugMug album. [See the docs here](https://api.smugmug.com/services/api/?method=upload)",
  version: "0.0.1",

      ],
      description: "Album Key of the album where image will be uploaded",
    },
    filePath: {
      type: "string",
      label: "File Path",
      description: "The path to the image file saved to the [`/tmp`directory](https://pipedream.com/docs/workflows/steps/code/nodejs/working-with-files/#the-tmp-directory)(e.g. `/tmp/image.png`).",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const filename = this.filePath.split("/").pop();

    const album = await this.smugmug.getAlbum(this.album, {
      $,
    });
    const albumUri = album.Response.Uri;

    const data = new FormData();
    const file = fs.createReadStream(this.filePath);
    data.append("file", file);

    const response = await this.smugmug.uploadImage(filename, albumUri, data, $);
    if (response.stat === "ok") {
      $.export("$summary", "Image successfully uploaded");
    } else {
      $.export("$summary", `${response.message}`);
    }
    return response;
  },
};

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

Action Authentication#

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

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