Feedbin Overview#

The Feedbin API provides an interface to manage and interact with a user's RSS feed subscriptions and articles. By integrating with Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create automation workflows that enhance your reading experience, keep you informed, and integrate your favorite feeds with other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can set up triggers based on new articles, organize content, and synchronize your Feedbin data across multiple applications.

Trigger Code#

import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "feedbin-saved-item",
  name: "New Saved Item",
  description: "Emit new event when a new item is saved. [See the docs here](https://github.com/feedbin/feedbin-api/blob/master/content/entries.md#get-v2entriesjson)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.2",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    feedId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.feedbin,
        "feedId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.feedbin.getFeedEntries;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      const lastCreatedAt = this.getLastCreatedAt();
      return {
        feedId: this.feedId,
        params: {
          per_page: constants.DEFAULT_LIMIT,
          since: lastCreatedAt,
        },
      };
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        ts: Date.parse(resource.created_at),
        summary: `Entry ID ${resource.id}`,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Feedbin	`feedbin`	`app`	This component uses the Feedbin app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the Feedbin API
Feed ID	`feedId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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.
