RSS Overview

With the RSS API you have the power to create powerful tools and applications.
RSS is a great way to reliably subscribe to, track and build around your
favorite content sources. Here are some examples of things you can create
using the RSS API:

  • A personal news website to syndicate articles from multiple sources.
  • A custom feed reader to deliver timely notifications of updates and news.
  • A live editorial dashboard to track news, trends and public sentiment.
  • An automated “report bot” to aggregate and report on news topics.
  • A competitor tracking tool to stay on top of industry news.
  • A custom RSS-based search engine or RSS-supported deep learning engine.
  • A live events feed to notify users and followers of new developments.

Google Analytics Overview

The Google Analytics API lets you access data from your Google Analytics
account to build custom reports and dashboards. With the API, you can query
data from your account, customize the data returned, and access data in real
time.

Here are some examples of what you can build with the Google Analytics API:

  • A dashboard to track your website's traffic
  • A report to show which keywords are driving traffic to your website
  • A tool to track how users are interacting with your website
  • A report to show which browsers and devices are being used to access your
    website
  • A tool to track conversions and goal completions on your website

Action Authentication

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

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

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.edit
