Trigger

New Commit (Instant) on GitLab
Description:Emit new event when a new commit is pushed to a branch
Version:0.1.3
Key:gitlab-new-commit

GitLab Overview

The GitLab API provides programmatic access to your GitLab projects, allowing you to automate common tasks, manage issues, merge requests, and more. With the GitLab API on Pipedream, you can create customized workflows that integrate with other services, streamline your development process, and enhance project management. By leveraging the power of serverless, you can set up triggers for GitLab events and perform actions across a variety of apps without managing infrastructure.

Trigger Code

import gitlab from "../../gitlab.app.mjs";
import base from "../common/base.mjs";
import { eventTypes } from "../common/hook-events.mjs";

      }

      // Gitlab "push events" are only provisioned with at most
      // 20 commit objects (which also lack information when compared
      // to the Commits API). The amount of new commits is specified
      // in a separate variable called `total_commits_count`, which
      // we'll use to keep track of the commits that we need to emit
      // downstream.
      // See https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/integrations/webhooks#push-events
      const { total_commits_count: totalCommitsCount } = event;

      const commits = await this.gitlab.listCommits(this.projectId, {
        params: {
          ref_name: refName,
          per_page: Math.min(50, totalCommitsCount),
        },
      });

      // We need to collect all the relevant commits, sort
      // them in reverse order (since the Gitlab API sorts them
      // from most to least recent) and emit an event for each
      // one of them.
      commits.reverse().forEach((commit) => {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(commit);
        this.$emit(commit, meta);
      });
    },
  },
};

Action

Get Backlinks on Ahrefs
Description:Get the backlinks for a domain or URL with details for the referring pages (e.g., anchor and page title).
Version:0.0.9
Key:ahrefs-get-backlinks

Ahrefs Overview

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention. This unlocks the potential for real-time SEO strategy adjustments and the integration of SEO data into broader business processes or analytics platforms.
