I don't see a list of all supported agents or a way to search.
Started the site a long time ago, but never finished. Nevertheless https://huginnio.herokuapp.com/ has a searchable Agent database an a few Scenarios.
Huginn: Create agents that monitor and act on your behalf

#112Is there any way to implement agents in python rather than JavaScript/ruby? Looks interesting but I don’t want to invest energy in building fluency in these other scripting languages.

One of the current maintainers here, which installation method are you using and how is it working for you?

What do you use it for? Any major issues?

@dsander I immediately recognized your username from GitHub Thanks for all the work you've put in!
I run Huginn on Heroku. I haven't had any significant issues since it's been running. It's been so long since I've set it up that I would need to review my notes to tell you any more about how it's deployed.

#116I have been running huginn on my home server for a while. I've mainly used it to filter RSS feeds and then generate new feeds with the filtered items. Another use-case for me is ingesting webcomic RSS feeds (or scrape a page) and post the comics to a private Telegram channel. Once I also had an agent scraping a page and notifying me if something changed (realestate listing). I have tried a couple alternatives, e.g. n…
You could perhaps use a tool like scrapy in combination with huginn. Scrapy has very simple patterns for doing that kind of logic.

Mostly assisting in curating news about niche technologies (angular, react).
What's a "major issue"?
At this point, I feel that I'm well versed in when to use huginn. That helps me avoid most issues.
I use Zapier all the time for the things it does better/easier. That said, often, one end of the "zap" is integrated with a workflow in huginn. For instance, I commonly use Zapier when I need data gathered by huginn to be continuously logged into a spreadsheet.
Additionally, puppeteer(node) is another fantastic automation tool, which I use to do things that you probably shouldn't try to do with huginn. But, I connect my puppeteer scripts to larger workflows using huginn.
Thanks to the maintainers, I think that huginn does what it was designed to do very well.

#118How well does it support:
- support remote agents and remote reporting?
- dead-man triggers for missing reports?
- is remote reporting properly secured? (encrypted/signed)

#119Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm excited to check this out, but I wanted to congratulate you on a truly excellent project name. Having spent many, many hours in naming struggles, I truly appreciate the perfection. And for those unfamiliar, the (also amazingly named) historian Snori Sturluson explains: "Two ravens sit on his (Odin’s) shoulders and whisper all the news which they see and hear into his ear; they are called Huginn and Muninn. He sen…
Norse Mythology by Neil Giaman is very good if you like such things. The audio book is especially good as it is narrated by the author. https://www.audible.com/pd/Norse-Mythology-Audiobook/B01LWUJ...
Can confirm just finished it on a 8 hr road trip last week. Very entertaining, found myself laughing out loud in the car at several points

What do you mean remote agents? Can it be accessed over HTTP? Then yes.
One of the great features of huginn is the diagram. That's where there are green and red indicators. Red indicates both errors and when a longer than expected period has passed. This makes quickly inspecting your workflows easy.
