I use Yahoo Pipes a lot. Many of my pipes are not published because they are just aggregators with filters, specific to my interests. Lately, I have been trying to create more generic pipes that might be useful to other users, either stand-alone or as sub-pipes. The following are just two new pipes that I believe are very usable and ready to be published. I am working on and testing several other pipes, so expect more announcements in the future.
The Digg data through API pipe uses the Digg API to produce a Digg container feed that includes additional information not provided in the standard Digg feeds currently. This additional information includes:
- Image enclosure
- Original source domain
- Original link
- Submission date
- Container name
- A content:encoded element containing some of the additional information from other elements
The resulting feeds should be element compatible with the official Digg feeds and should be usable as substitutes of the official feeds.
The Sourceforge SVN pipe creates a feed that lists the last 5 revisions of a Sourceforge project with a SVN repository. This pipe is specific to projects with an SVN repository and it will not work with a CVS repository.
Note: The pipe currently does not check to see if the repository has less than 5 revisions and may not work for such repositories.
