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.

Proxycurl Overview#

The Proxycurl API is a tool for scraping LinkedIn data, enabling users to extract professional information from LinkedIn profiles and company pages. When integrated with Pipedream's serverless platform, Proxycurl can automate the collection of LinkedIn data, which can be used for lead generation, market research, or recruitment. Pipedream's capabilities allow users to create workflows that respond to various triggers, process the data with Proxycurl, and then output it to desired destinations or further manipulate it with other apps and services.
