How to create an Import.io Feed

Import.io collects and delivers web data. You need an Import.io subscription to use this service. 

To create an import.io feed, you need to have an Import.io account with an API key.
Before you add a connection, you must ensure that your import.io extractor follows the data schema stated below.

1. Login to Wide Narrow and go to Inboxes.
2. On your DIY Inbox card: Click the More icon (three dots) and select InfoLab.
3. Click New Feed and select New RSS Feed.
4. Enter a name to be used in Wide Narrow for the import.io feed.
   A good practice is to use a name that corresponds to the extractor name in import.io.
5. Enter your API key from import.io. You find the key in the account/settings section in import.io.
6. Copy the provided webhook URL (this can also be found by editing the connection).
7. Select the target Inbox for the feed. Only applicable if you have more than one DIY Inbox.
8. Press Save.
   
   
   
   
9. Go to import.io and edit your extractor and choose Settings.
10. Paste the previously copied webhook URL in the Add webhook section. Press Save webhook.
11. Run URL(s) in import.io to trigger the first fetch or wait for a scheduled fetch.

Import.io data schema 
Extractors in import.io must follow this schema to be able to connect with Wide narrow.
Edit your extractor in import.io and name (rename) the columns to match the following possible fields: 

Title [*mandatory]
Description
Source
Content
Link  

Title and Link are the minimum required data. The Link can be provided either from the Title or from the field Link. You must name all the used columns exactly like schema with no spaces and the same casing.
Items without minimum requirements will be ignored. 

Only schema fields are parsed (additional fields are discarded). 

Typically, an import.io Title field contains link href.
When a separate Link column is present, it overrides any link in the Title. 

All columns should evaluate to ONE item per row. If multiple items are provided only the first will be parsed.
