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#

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.9

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.

WakaTime Overview#

WakaTime offers insights into your coding activity, enabling you to track the time you spend on programming projects. With the WakaTime API on Pipedream, you can automate the extraction of this data to trigger actions in other apps, generate reports, and monitor your development workflow. Pipedream's serverless platform allows you to connect WakaTime to hundreds of other services without writing comprehensive code, creating opportunities to streamline your productivity and gain data-driven insights into your coding habits.

Action Authentication#

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

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