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.

The Humor API is a tool that offers a variety of endpoints to add some laughter to your applications.

Use cases may include sending jokes as icebreakers in emails, posting humorous content to social media, or integrating fun prompts into chatbots.
