Farecast on Yahoo Pipe: Limit Fare Price in RSS Feed

Submitted by kai on Sat, 2007-04-14 12:49. ::

When Yahoo Pipes came out, I was really excited about it and wanted to modify RSS feeds provided by Farecast(I am a big fan of Farecast). Farecast allows tracking of airline prices via RSS. But it doesn't provide an option to filter by price(say I am only interested in getting notifications about fares under $200 between Oakland and Salt Lake City). so I was trying to figure out how to use Yahoo Pipes to get rid of all the feed items that have a price higher than the on e I specify. But I never figured it out.

About two weeks ago, I met Maciej Ceglowski from Yahoo Pipes in Platform 2.0 conference hosted by SDForum, and he showed me how to do it.
