Trigger

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed
Version:1.2.3
Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

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.

Description:
Version:0.5.1
Key:browserless-take-screenshot

Browserless Overview

Browserless allows you to build websites and applications that can be used
without a web browser. This means that you can create apps that can be used
offline, or that can be used on devices that don't have a web browser
installed.

Some examples of things that you can build using Browserless are:

  • A website that can be used without a web browser
  • An app that can be used offline
  • A app that can be used on devices that don't have a web browser installed

Action Code

// legacy_hash_id: a_oViVKv
import puppeteer from "puppeteer-core";

export default {
  key: "browserless-take-screenshot",
  name: "Take a Screenshot",
  version: "0.5.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    browserless: {
      type: "app",
      app: "browserless",
    },
    url: {
      type: "string",
      label: "URL",
      description: "Enter the URL you'd like to take a screenshot of here",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
      browserWSEndpoint: `wss://chrome.browserless.io?token=${this.browserless.$auth.api_key}`,
    });
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    const { url } = this;
    await page.goto(url);
    const screenshot = await page.screenshot();

    // export the base64-encoded screenshot for use in future steps,
    // along with the image type and filename
    $.export("screenshot", Buffer.from(screenshot, "binary").toString("base64"));
    $.export("type", "png");
    $.export(
      "filename",
      `${url.replace(/[&\/\\#, +()$~%.'":*?<>{}]/g, "_")}-${+new Date()}.${this.type}`,
    );

    await browser.close();
  },
};

Action Authentication

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

Sign-up for a browserless account, it will create a unique token that allows service interaction.
