New Item From Multiple RSS Feeds on RSS

Description:Emit new items from multiple RSS feeds

Version:1.2.7

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.

Data.Police.UK Overview#

The Data.Police.UK API provides access to a wide array of UK crime data, allowing users to query information about street-level crimes, outcomes, and the location of police stations. You can leverage this data within Pipedream to build automated workflows that react to new data, analyze crime trends, or integrate with other services to enhance public awareness and safety. With Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that connect Data.Police.UK API with other apps to streamline tasks, generate reports, or trigger alerts based on crime data.
