Pipes: A spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes
Documentation What Pipes is Pipes is a spiritual successor to Yahoo! Pipes, but if you did not know that site, you can think of Pipes as a visual programing editor specialized on feeds, or a visual shell, or simply as a glorified feed configurator. Pipes gives you blocks that can fetch and create feeds, and manipulate them in various ways.
That way one can use extracted elements to create a new regular feed, whose items have a proper title, content, date and link. In this example usage, the pipe downloads the Hacker News homepage, duplicates it and extracts three elements: The title, the score and the link target. Note: Stored data is erased after an hour, and the API endpoint is rate limited (currently to 5 requests per minute).
