Yahoo! Pipes was a web service which allowed user to aggregate, filter, and combine web data sources such as RSS feeds and web pages into an output feed via a graphical interface. Its closure took place in August - September 2015.
Yahoo! Pipes was a web application from Yahoo! that provided a graphical user interface for building data mashups that aggregate web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating Web-based apps from various sources, and publishing those apps. The application works by enabling users to "pipe" information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified (for example, filtering). A typical example is New York Times through Flickr,1 a pipe which takes The New York Times RSS feed and adds a photo from Flickr based on the keywords of each item. It was shut down in 2015.
On 4 June 2015 it was announced that Pipes would be in read-only mode from 30 August 2015, and shut down on 30 September 2015.
