Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed
Version:1.2.7
Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

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

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-new-item-in-feed",

            type: "string",
            label: "Published After",

            default: new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(), // default to one day ago
        },
    },
    hooks: {
        async activate() {
            // Try to parse the feed one time to confirm we can fetch and parse.
            // The code will throw any errors to the user.
            await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(this.url);
        },
    },
    methods: {
        ...rssCommon.methods,
        generateMeta: function (item) {
            return {
                id: this.rss.itemKey(item),
                summary: item.title,
                ts: Date.now(),
            };
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const items = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(this.url);
        for (const item of items.reverse()) {
            const publishedAfter = +new Date(this.publishedAfter);
            const ts = this.rss.itemTs(item);
            if (Number.isNaN(publishedAfter) || publishedAfter > ts) {
                continue;
            }
            const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

GitLab Overview

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Action Authentication

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

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