Overview of Dropbox#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.

Connect Dropbox#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    dropbox: {
      type: "app",
      app: "dropbox",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "account_id": `${this.dropbox.$auth.oauth_uid}`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_account`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.dropbox.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      data,
    })
  },
})

Overview of MongoDB#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Connect MongoDB#

import mongodb from 'mongodb'

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    mongodb: {
      type: "app",
      app: "mongodb",
    },
    collection: {
      type: "string"
    },
    filter: {
      type: "object"
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
    
    const {
      database,
      hostname,
      username,
      password,
    } = this.mongodb.$auth
    
    const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
    const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, { 
      useNewUrlParser: true, 
      useUnifiedTopology: true 
    })
    
    const db = client.db(database)

    const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
    $.export('results', results);
    
    await client.close()
  },
})

Integrating Location Data into Pipedream Workflows

Over the past few months, I've become somewhat enamored with a new service called Pipedream. Pipedream is yet another serverless solution with a bit of a twist. It makes it easy to build workflows by piecing together various actions like LEGO bricks. These actions are small pieces of programming logic that cover a wide variety of different services. You can connect these actions together along with the ability to write Node code for your own logic.
