Working with feeds

Fetching feed

You can get a feed in one of the following ways:

• Drag the feed under the Feed activities category on the right palette and type the feed address in the input box of the URL attribute.
• Search feeds in the search box and drag the result to the canvas.

Using feed operators

The feed operators supported by Assemble flow could be found in the Feed activities category of the pallete. More details about those activities could be found in the "Feed operators reference" section.

Searching feeds

The flow editor supports feed searching by Google™ AJAX Feed API. If you do not have the Google API key, you need to sign up for Google AJAX Feed API to obtain your key. To do so, go to the Google API site, at the following location: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/signup.html. Then you need to configure App Builder to enable this feature:

1. Open the zero.config file of the App Builder in the <zerohome>/installed/appbuilder/config/zero.config directory, and configure the key from Google by adding the following line: /config/googleKey/key="KEY"
2. Restart App Builder.
3. Edit or create a flow.
4. Select the "Search feed from Web" category of the palette.
5. Enter keywords in the search box and the results will be listed, as shown in the following example.
   
6. Select one feed, drag and drop it to the canvas to create a feed activity.
