Overview of Discourse#

The Discourse API empowers developers to interact programmatically with Discourse forums, allowing for a myriad of automations and integrations. Using Pipedream, you can harness this API for tasks such as syncing forum data with other platforms, automating user management, or triggering workflows based on forum activity. The key is in creatively coupling Discourse events with Pipedream's capabilities to streamline community interactions and administration.

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    discourse: {
      type: "app",
      app: "discourse",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.discourse.$auth.domain}/admin/users/list/active.json`,
      headers: {
        "Api-Username": `${this.discourse.$auth.api_username}`,

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
