Random item from multiple RSS feeds on RSS

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 rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-random-item-in-multiple-feeds",
    name: "Random item from multiple RSS feeds",
    type: "source",
    description: "Emit a random item from multiple RSS feeds",
    version: "0.2.7",
    props: {
        ...rssCommon.props,
        urls: {
            propDefinition: [
                rss,
                "urls",
            ],
        },
    },
    dedupe: "unique",
    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.
            for (const url of this.urls) {
                await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            }
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const items = [];
        for (const url of this.urls) {
            const feedItems = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            items.push(...feedItems);
        }
        const item = items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)];
        const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
        this.$emit(item, meta);
    },
});

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URLs	`urls`	`string[]`	Enter either one or multiple URLs from any public RSS feed

Trigger Authentication#

The RSS API does not require authentication.

Find Cities on GeoDB Cities

GeoDB Cities Overview#

The GeoDB Cities API lets you tap into a rich dataset of worldwide cities, their attributes, and related data. On Pipedream, you can use this API to create workflows that automate location-based tasks, enrich data with geographical context, or power apps with location intelligence. For instance, you could trigger a workflow whenever a new city is added to a database, gather demographic information based on city names, or even integrate with travel platforms to plan itineraries.
