This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
FlippingBook	`flippingbook`	`app`	This component uses the FlippingBook app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

FlippingBook uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your FlippingBook account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to FlippingBook APIs in both code and no-code steps.
