RSS Overview#

With the RSS API you have the power to create powerful tools and applications.
RSS is a great way to reliably subscribe to, track and build around your
favorite content sources. Here are some examples of things you can create
using the RSS API:

A personal news website to syndicate articles from multiple sources.
A custom feed reader to deliver timely notifications of updates and news.
A live editorial dashboard to track news, trends and public sentiment.
An automated “report bot” to aggregate and report on news topics.
A competitor tracking tool to stay on top of industry news.
A custom RSS-based search engine or RSS-supported deep learning engine.
A live events feed to notify users and followers of new developments.

OneSignal (REST API) Overview#

With the OneSignal (REST API) API, you can create powerful tools to connect
with your users and build an engaged audience. The API enables you to create,
read, update, and delete push notifications, set up segmentation, and deliver
messages to players.

The API also enables you to:

Monitor and analyze performance with analytics dashboards and reporting tools
Receive updates on user engagement with real-time events
Automate message sending using scheduled notifications
Personalize messages using data gathered on each user

These are just some of the resources available to you when you use OneSignal
API:

Create targeted notifications for user-specific behaviors
Trigger personalized messages via segmentation
Maintain continuity with automated, scheduled messages
Develop group messages and alert campaigns
Analyze user engagement with reporting tools
Mark individual push notifications as delivered or failed
