I use Yahoo Pipes to get around Netflix's walled garden.
Netflix does not believe in RSS, even though their Influencer content is not behind a subwall. I use Pipes to parse Netflix's json content and then turn it into a feed. I even created a Pipe that took any influencer ID and automatically created an RSS feed.
The idea was started because Daniel Tunkelang of Netflix was very anti RSS. I showed him, but alas, no more.
I never figured out how to use IFTTT. How can you grab any content from the web, like Netflix's json content? There is no HTTP input as far as I can tell.
- stevenjohns 11y agoI used a combination of Yahoo! Pipes and IFTTT personally. I'm not sure how people are using IFTTT on its own. For me, I would do the data parsing on Yahoo! Pipes and prepare everything to be triggered, and then the actions would be performed on a service like IFTTT (where the instruction was to just post whatever new item came in the feed).
