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 ZenRows#
ZenRows API specializes in web scraping and handles issues like CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering, and rotating proxies to ensure successful data extraction. In Pipedream, you can pair the ZenRows API with numerous other services to create automated workflows that respond to events, process and analyze scraped data, or even trigger actions based on the data collected. Whether you need to monitor changes on web pages, aggregate content for analysis, or feed scraped data into other applications, ZenRows' integration on Pipedream simplifies these tasks.
