Gitter is a messaging platform developed by British company GitLab. It allows developers to communicate with each other in real-time, and work on code collaboration.
Gitter has an API which developers can use to build applications on top of the platform. Here are some examples of what you can build with the Gitter API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
gitter: {
type: "app",
app: "gitter",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.gitter.im/v1/user`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.gitter.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Gitter uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Gitter account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Gitter and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Gitter API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
GET
https://gitter.im/login/oauth/authorize
?
client_id={{oauth.client_id}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
state={{oauth.state}}
&
response_type=code
&
scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}}
POST
https://gitter.im/login/oauth/token
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
accept: application/json
client_id={{oauth.client_id}}
&
client_secret={{oauth.client_secret}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
grant_type=authorization_code
&
code={{oauth.code}}
