Overview of RSS#
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.
Connect RSS#
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
rss: {
type: "app",
app: "rss",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// Retrieve items from a sample feed
const Parser = require('rss-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const stories = []
// Replace with your feed URL
const url = "https://pipedream.com/community/latest.rss"
const feed = await parser.parseURL(url);
const { title, items } = feed
this.title = title
if (!items.length) {
$end("No new stories")
}
this.items = items
},
})
Overview of Diffbot#
The Diffbot API enables you to extract structured data from web pages automatically. It transforms the chaos of the web into usable information through web scraping and natural language processing. On Pipedream, you can use Diffbot to monitor changes on websites, extract article data, or process web pages for specific information. By tapping into Pipedream’s ability to integrate with hundreds of other services, you can create powerful workflows that automate data extraction and act on the data in real-time.
