anyone put these through Yahoo Pipes yet?

   I need an rss feed of these and can not get Yahoo Pipes to understand the variables used in active.com output.
   
   Any ideas are much appreciated!

   I'm interested to know more about the issue you're having with Pipes. In the meantime I'll see if one of my engineers can create an RSS feed through Pipes using the Asset Syndication API and will get back to you with an example.

   I've tried running it through several ways a month ago when I first posted to this forum. Pipes makes it ugly real fast. However, despite having created several pipes I am not an expert.
   
   Thanks for any help! You guys rock with your support!

   Any update on your engineer providing a sample pipe -> rss output? Thanks

   Sorry about the delay. We're still working on it. I'll let you know once we've done this.

   Ok - I got pipes processing your feeds. For anyone who is interested in knowing how to get it to work, here's how I did it. The upper case are the pipes elements I used and the other are the items in that element.
   
   FETCH DATA:
   http://api.amp.active.com/assets/triathlon?mediaType=Clinic&api_key=rnxjx6ts3pg579gvrbe42qn7
   
   SUB ELEMENT:
   item.asset
   
   CREATE RSS:
   title = item.assetName
   LINK = item.trackback
   PubDate = item.date.startDate
   
   SORT:
   item.date.startDate = asc
   
   PIPE OUTPUT

   Awesome! Thanks for sharing this info.

   now, even using my key, that pipe and that query throws the error:
   <h1>403 Developer Inactive</h1>
   
   Any ideas?

   I can confirm that the demo key has exceeded its daily rate. But I just issued a query with your key to the Asset Syndication API, and it returned with data. I suspect Yahoo! Pipes is caching the call with the demo key. Give it some time and it should clear out.
