Keep custom extraction rules visible as research changes
Get a regular inventory of custom extraction rules so site-specific parsing stays visible while your research workflows evolve.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Custom APIs
Lists the custom APIs and extraction rules defined for an API token.
Why this helps
Custom extraction setups can fade from view until a site changes and a campaign workflow starts returning incomplete results.
- Retrieve the custom APIs and extraction rules defined on the Diffbot token.
- Review site-specific rules in a regular report.
- Make it easier to notice when research needs call for a rules update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abyssale and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to use Diffbot List Custom APIs and summarize the configured URL patterns and extraction rules.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and report channel, then test against an account with custom APIs.
Questions about this workflow
What does List Custom APIs do?
It retrieves the Custom APIs and their extraction rules currently defined on the Diffbot token.
Does the workflow update or delete rules?
No. It lists and summarizes existing definitions. Updating or deleting rules requires a separate action and instruction.
What if there are no custom APIs?
The scheduled report can state that none were returned, so you can distinguish an empty inventory from a missed review.
