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.
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
},
})
Example Use Cases#
Content Syndication to Social Media: Automate the sharing of latest blog posts or news articles from an RSS feed to social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook. When a new item appears in the RSS feed, Pipedream can post it to your social media accounts, keeping your followers engaged with fresh content.
Keyword Monitoring and Alerts: Monitor an RSS feed for specific keywords or phrases and set up alerts through email or messaging apps like Slack. This is useful for PR tracking, brand monitoring, or competitive analysis. When an item containing the keyword is detected, Pipedream can trigger an alert, ensuring you're always informed about relevant mentions.
Content Backup to Cloud Storage: Backup new items from an RSS feed directly to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Each time a new post is published, Pipedream can create a file containing the content or link, preserving it in your storage. This can be valuable for archival purposes or content curation.
