New Item in Feed 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.

Query IP address on IP2Location

Description:Query IP address using IP2Location API. [See the docs here](https://www.ip2location.com/web-service/ip2location) for how to use this API.

Version:0.0.2

IP2Location Overview#

The IP2Location API enables you to uncover valuable information about an IP address. With it, you can pinpoint a user's geographic location, such as country, region, city, and even latitude and longitude coordinates. This data is essential for various tasks like localizing content, analyzing traffic, or enhancing security by detecting potentially malicious activity. Using Pipedream, you can automate actions based on IP location data, integrating it with hundreds of other services without writing any code.
