Foursquare Overview#

The Foursquare API empowers developers to tap into rich data about venues, user check-ins, and location-based experiences. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate tasks such as fetching venue recommendations based on user preferences, keeping a log of customer visits to your business, or integrating location insights into your CRM. Combining Foursquare data with other services on Pipedream allows you to create powerful, location-aware business solutions without the heavy lifting of manual data handling.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "foursquare-new-check-in",
  name: "New Check-In",
  description: "Emit new event when a user checks in.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New Check-In with Id: ${item.id}`;
    },
    getDataField() {
      return "checkins";
    },
    getFn() {
      return this.foursquare.getUserCheckins;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

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
Foursquare	`foursquare`	`app`	This component uses the Foursquare app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Foursquare uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Foursquare account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Foursquare and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Foursquare API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

MongoDB Overview#

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.

Action Code#

import mongodbApp from "../../mongodb.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mongodb-search-documents",
  name: "Search Documents",
  description: "Search for specific documents or return all documents. [See the docs here](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.find/)",
  version: "0.0.8",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    mongodbApp,
    database: {
      propDefinition: [
        mongodbApp,
        "database",
      ],
    },
    collection: {
      propDefinition: [
        mongodbApp,
        "collection",
        (c) => ({
          database: c.database,
        }),
      ],
    },
    filter: {
      label: "Filter",
      description: "Object to use as a filter. Values will be interpreted as strings. To pass a number, boolean, array, or object, wrap the value in an expression. eg. `{{1}}`",
      type: "object",
      optional: true,
    },
    options: {
      label: "Options",
      description: "Additional props for sorting and ordering. [See docs](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/node/current/usage-examples/find/)",
      type: "object",
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const documents = await this.mongodbApp.searchDocuments(
      this.database,
      this.collection,
      this.filter,
      this.options,
    );

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully retrieved ${documents.length} document(s)`);
    return documents;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MongoDB	`mongodbApp`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Filter	`filter`	`object`	Object to use as a filter. Values will be interpreted as strings. To pass a number, boolean, array, or object, wrap the value in an expression. eg. `{{1}}`
Options	`options`	`object`	Additional props for sorting and ordering. See docs

Action Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.
