Hi there, I’ve been struggling with a blueprint that should be rather simple. I want to grab one or more RSS feeds from a data store, extract the content URLs, read the content from each URL and then aggregate it.
My issue is with the HTTP (Make a Request) Module. I am passing the URL from the RSS module to the HTTP module. Running the scenario causes the HTTP Module step to timeout. If I manually add a URL, instead of the variable, it works just fine.
Can someone guide me to the proper use of the RSS + HTTP Module? Here are the details:
The automation starts by searching a datastore for specific records (filtered by a stock symbol, PANW in this case).
URLs from the records are used to fetch recent articles from their RSS feeds.
The contents of these articles are retrieved via an HTTP request.
The content is summarized and stored in a specified Google Sheet for further analysis or record-keeping.
The problem I’m having with the script is that when it gets to the HTTP Request Module it simply times out with an error. However, if I substitute a feed url for the rssField: Link value it does not time out. I suspect that I’m passing the wrong variable from the RSS Module to the HTTP Module but I am unclear on how to fix it.
To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:
1. Relevant Screenshots
Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
2. Output Bundles of Modules
Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.
A. Upload as Text File
Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.
B. Insert as Formatted Code Block
If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:
Method 1: Type code block manually
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:
``` content goes here
```
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor
Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.
Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!
