Ghost.org (Admin API) Overview#

The Ghost.org (Admin API) provides a powerful platform for content management and distribution, allowing developers to programmatically interact with their Ghost site. With this API, you can automate content creation, manage posts, pages, and tags, and dynamically adjust site settings. This enables seamless content workflows, from drafting and scheduling posts to curating featured articles and managing user access. When used with Pipedream, these capabilities expand, enabling integrations with countless other services to create sophisticated, automated content pipelines that can save time and enhance your content strategy.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common-webhook.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  type: "source",
  key: "ghost_org_admin_api-page-published",
  name: "Page Published (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event for each new page published on a site.",
  version: "0.0.9",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEvent() {
      return "page.published";
    },
    generateMeta(body) {
      return ({
        id: body.page.current.id,
        summary: body.page.current.title,
        ts: Date.now(),
      });
    },
  },
};

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
Ghost.org (Admin API)	`ghostAdminApi`	`app`	This component uses the Ghost.org (Admin API) 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#

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

Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
