New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.6

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

View on GitHub

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-new-item-in-feed",

            if (Number.isNaN(publishedAfter) || publishedAfter > ts) {
                continue;
            }
            const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

Confection Overview#

Confection API provides a robust solution for collecting, managing, and utilizing user data in compliance with privacy regulations. It helps businesses capture data lost due to ad blockers and privacy tech, ensuring you don't miss out on valuable insights. With Pipedream, you can harness this data in real-time, triggering actions, analyzing trends, or integrating with other services for a comprehensive data strategy.

    if (data.related.length === 0 && this.stopOnNoResults === true) {
      throw new Error(
        `No related UUIDs with likeness score greater than or equal to ${this.likeness} were found.`,
      );
    }
    return data;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Confection	`confection`	`app`	This component uses the Confection app.
UUID	`uuid`	`string`	Provide the UUID to retrieve related UUIDs of.
Likeness Score	`likeness`	`integer`	Accepts values 50 to 100. 100 meaning only pull back records where we are certain the UUIDs are the same record
Should the execution of this step be stopped if no results are found?	`stopOnNoResults`	`boolean`	If set to true, action execution will be halted when no related UUIDs are found and any subsequent steps that rely on data from this step will not be run.

Action Authentication#

Confection uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Confection account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Confection APIs in both code and no-code steps.
