Blocks contain powerful logic to manipulate your data stream.
Profit from and support the open web, by consuming and producing open standards.
Share your pipe to help others, or fork existing pipes to get immediate results.
It works similarly to how Yahoo! Pipes worked. You get a canvas area and can place blocks on it. First you enter data, for example by pointing a block to an RSS feed. Then you connect that block to other blocks. This data then moves through your pipe, block by block, and each block can manipulate it. A simple example is combining multiple RSS feeds into one and filtering that combined data stream for a keyword.
Almost everything on the web can become the starting point of your pipe. You can fetch an RSS feed, scrape a HTML page, or use one of the specialised integration blocks.
Whether you want to filter the data stream, combine feeds, extract parts of an XML file or do something else: With the provided selection of blocks and their documentation you can easily do the job.
