Yahoo Pipes

Time for CJF Pipes Madness :) - Lucio Riccardi from Bookmarklet

I've just imported this pipe of my Google Reader shares as a blog feed. Is it meant to also pull images from the shares like Feedbuster does? I tried pulling the pipe as a custom/rss feed but it didn't show any entries at all. - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

Have you connected the 'sort' module to a 'source' module? And does the 'source' module have results? - LouCypher

@zoolcar9 thanks a lot. link_saving: pubDate": RSS format, "published": Atom format. - lelapin

Check out http://www.feedparser.org/docs... and http://www.feedparser.org/docs... - Ivan Zuzak

This definitely help :) tnx - Lucio Riccardi

@zoolcar9 thanks for sharing. I cloned it for later dissection ;-) - lelapin

"In last few weeks i studied some RSS, GoogleReader and FriendFeed protocols and built yahoo Pipes “for fun and profit”. Here the list and the description, take it with some assumptions: "Every pipe you want to “use into a pipe” (by dropping it from left-menu) has as input a feed or a webpage, you can’t use it “in the middle” of an item feed analysis redirecting stream of item into it. This behaviour limits construction of “pipes as module”, then CLONE IT or TAKE IT AS INSPIRATION for your pipe." List of my “public” pipes (consider this as freezed, if I’ll update it I’ll clone a 0.2 version and so on ..): Go to website :)" - Lucio Riccardi from Bookmarklet

Good stuff man, keep 'em coming :) - LANjackal

Already using this, Alfredo! Thanks, though! - Jandy

SWEET! Will have to check this out later :) - LANjackal

This is definitely awesome, thanks so much :) - LANjackal

There's not a way .. sad :( - Lucio Riccardi

..then posts are published in "the middle" of the "time-line" of your FriendFeed page, it's not shared to subscribers (is "forget" in the past items, no one see it in real time), Friendfeed don't twitter it.. Then timeline is strictly on item.pubDate? How we can handle it? Smart pipe solution? Challenge is open :) - Lucio Riccardi

Bravo Lucio! - Ivan Zuzak

"When using source modules other than Fetch Feed, the data structure is often not reflective of a RSS structure. When viewing the Pipe as RSS or on the Pipe info page, the results seem to be empty and many users ask on the message boards "why can't I see my data?" So we created 2 new modules, the Create RSS module and RSS Item Builder Module." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet

I've been importing a couple of Flickr tags into the groups http://friendfeed.com/umich and http://friendfeed.com/fenderf.... Unfortunately you can't import a tag or Flickr pool directly in the same way you can import a user's feed, so I've had to fall back on RSS. This means each picture shows up as an entry, and the group tends to get flooded. Is this something Pipes could help with? Aggregate the photos and create a single "digest" entry? - Ken Sheppardson

I'm a Pipes newbie, btw :-/ - Ken Sheppardson

i don't think you can do this with pipes alone. for aggregation you will need some mechanism of storing state, which does not exist in pipes. for example, one way to do this would be to fetch the original feed every 30 minutes, aggregate the new posts into a single post, and publish it to an output feed. but you'd need to know which posts have been aggregated and which haven't, at least. this could be doable with a cron job in an appengine service, i think. - Ivan Zuzak

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS As title say, workflow: v0.1 - Images enhancer passing trough Feed-Buster (http://code.google.com/p...) - Remove "[feedly]" from title - Remove html tags from item.comment to post it as a plain comment. TODO: - enrich of item.comment if not present (i don't know how to implement "if then else" or a "case") Comments, suggestion and help are welcome :) - Lucio Riccardi

wicked Lucio! can't wait for your news :) - Ivan Zuzak

Ideal for importing your ratings and comments to Friendfeed. - Berk D. Demir from Bookmarklet

..ok also friendfeed users :) - Lucio Riccardi

Chris: Yes it's scheduled .. chrome is not on my preferred OS (Linux MacOsX) (humm... god know why?), nor IE8 (when i work on vista i don't see a lot of reasons to not use Firefox for IE8, nor javascript/processes shine behaviour) - Lucio Riccardi

"In this blog post we'll go through the steps on how to use YQL Execute to power the Pipes Webservice Module" - LouCypher from Bookmarklet

"This post is part of the Who's @ Google I/O, a series of blog posts that give a closer look at developers who'll be speaking or demoing at Google I/O. Today's post is a guest post written by Paul Donnelly and Jonathan Trevor of the Yahoo! Pipes team." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet

"Output similar to that of standard Flickr user photostream RSS, but allows up to 500 photos to be retrieved instead of the standard 20. More info @ http://flickr.com/groups..." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet

"Two years after it launched, Yahoo Pipes is still providing an amazing way to mash up data from around the Internet. Ars looks at Pipes and introduces a step-by-step walkthrough of some of its functionality." - LouCypher from Bookmarklet

"The Yahoo Pipes “expert” Hapdaniel (y!) (twitter) tells me I’ve fixed nothing, and should have read his tweet. Also, I’m apparently a terrible person for having a huge master OPML that I want to efficiently process. Too bad he’s too busy being an “expert” to notice that I added the ability to “filter on folder name” while scanning the OPML! My feedback to the nice people at Yahoo: I tried to find suitable pipes, but in the end I had to write them myself. In addition, the person who responded on the message board was most unhelpful and nasty, and obviously thinks it’s a terrible thing to have a large OPML. And, he doesn’t understand that one wants to filter while scanning the OPML - that’s a key to having a huge master OPML that you can still use for multiple things efficiently. I doubt I’ll participate here much going forward. I like Pipes though, and blogged about it, and deployed them on my site… Thanks… and nice job on the Pipes machinery itself." - Richard Walker *exculted* from Bookmarklet

Hi Greg! - Richard Walker *exculted*

"Here is the published Pipe that powers my Recent News widget on Soft Machine: OPML feed items newest 20 with [source] prepended There are a few details I don’t need to go into, at the moment… One thing I will say, however, is that the aggregator pipes I looked at either didn’t work or were extremely inefficient. Others weren’t suitable, or were fragile, or very specific to a task. This Pipe is general, efficient, and quite good at producing recent items from OPML files. The only ongoing upkeep required is to re-export my subscriptions to the cloud when I make changes I want to see reflected here! In all, I’d say the capabilities of Yahoo Pipes are good, but you may not find what you need easily." - Richard Walker *exculted*

"Here is my published OPML items pipe. Here is the Y! message board thread. This is the first step in solving what I consider to be the distressing state of OPML support in Yahoo Pipes. A very simple fix, it consists of setting up a pipe that parses an OPML file (such as you find when “exporting” subscriptions from Google reader), and outputs the subscription items. I take care to handle both “flat” and “structured” OPML files. Note, I recognize the “flat” items by filtering on “item.type” having “rss” or “atom.”" - Richard Walker *exculted*

impressive! - David Bausola
