New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.6

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.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URL	`url`	`string`	Enter the URL for any public RSS feed
Published After	`publishedAfter`	`string`	Emit items published after the specified date in ISO 8601 format .e.g `2022-12-07T12:57:10+07:00`

Scale AI Overview#

Scale AI offers an API to automate and streamline data labeling for machine learning applications, providing access to a global workforce and sophisticated tools. With Scale AI's API on Pipedream, you can integrate scalable data annotation workflows directly into your apps. Trigger tasks, manage datasets, and receive annotated data, all within Pipedream's serverless platform. This enables seamless automation of labeling tasks, integration with machine learning pipelines, and real-time updates on annotations.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Scale AI	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Scale AI app.
Project	`project`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Batch	`batch`	`string`	The name of the batch to associate this task with. Note that if a batch is specified, you need not specify the project, as the task will automatically be associated with the batch's project. For Scale Rapid projects specifying a batch is required. See Batches section for more details.
Instruction	`instruction`	`string`	A markdown-enabled string or iframe embedded Google Doc explaining how to do the task. You can use markdown to show example images, give structure to your instructions, and more. See our instruction best practices for more details. For Scale Rapid projects, DO NOT set this field unless you specifically want to override the project level instructions.
Callback URL	`callbackUrl`	`string`	The full url (including the scheme `http://` or `https://`) or email address of the callback that will be used when the task is completed.
Title	`title`	`string`	The title of the task to be shown to scalers.
Description	`description`	`string`	The description of the task to be shown to scalers.
Responses Required	`responsesRequired`	`integer`	The number of responses required for the task to build consensus before returning the callback response. Upper bound of 100.
Priority	`priority`	`integer`	A value of 10, 20, or 30 that defines the priority of a task within a project. The higher the number, the higher the priority.
Unique ID	`uniqueId`	`string`	A arbitrary ID that you can assign to a task and then query for later. This ID must be unique across all projects under your account, otherwise the task submission will be rejected. See Avoiding Duplicate Tasks for more details.
Clear Unique ID on Error	`clearUniqueIdOnError`	`boolean`	If set to be true, if a task errors out after being submitted, the Unique ID on the task will be unset. This param allows workflows where you can re-submit the same Unique ID to recover from errors automatically.
Number of Fields	`numberOfFields`	`integer`	The number of fields to be labeled
Number of Attachments	`numberOfAttachments`	`integer`	The number of attachments to be labeled
