Google Cloud API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Google Cloud API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Google Cloud API opens a world of possibilities for enhancing cloud operations and automating tasks. It empowers you to manage, scale, and fine-tune various services within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) programmatically. With Pipedream, you can harness this power to create intricate workflows, trigger cloud functions based on events from other apps, manage resources, and analyze data, all in a serverless environment. The ability to interconnect GCP services with numerous other apps enriches automation, making it easier to synchronize data, streamline development workflows, and deploy applications efficiently.
module.exports = defineComponent({
props: {
google_cloud: {
type: "app",
app: "google_cloud",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// Required workaround to get the @google-cloud/storage package
// working correctly on Pipedream
require("@dylburger/umask")()
const { Storage } = require('@google-cloud/storage')
const key = JSON.parse(this.google_cloud.$auth.key_json)
// Creates a client from a Google service account key.
// See https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/storage/1.6.x/global#ClientConfig
const storage = new Storage({
projectId: key.project_id,
credentials: {
client_email: key.client_email,
private_key: key.private_key,
}
})
// Uncomment this section and rename for your bucket before running this code
// const bucketName = 'pipedream-test-bucket';
await storage.createBucket(bucketName)
console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created.`)
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Backups to Cloud Storage: Trigger regular backups of your application data from various sources like MySQL, MongoDB, or even third-party services like Dropbox to Google Cloud Storage. Use Pipedream's cron job features to schedule and manage backup routines without manual intervention.
Real-time Data Processing with Pub/Sub: Instantly process data from IoT devices or application logs by pushing them to Google Pub/Sub. Set up a Pipedream workflow that listens for new messages in a specific topic, processes the data, and forwards it to BigQuery for analysis or to Slack for real-time alerts.
Dynamic Scaling with Compute Engine: Automatically scale your Compute Engine resources based on application load without manual oversight. Configure a workflow in Pipedream that monitors metrics from Google Operations (formerly Stackdriver), and adjusts the number of virtual machine instances in your Compute Engine environment accordingly.

Inserts rows into a BigQuery table. See the docs and for an example here.
Creates a scheduled query in Google Cloud. See the documentation
Gets Google Cloud Storage bucket metadata. See the docs.
Downloads an object from a Google Cloud Storage bucket, See the docs
Authentication#
Google Cloud uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Google Cloud account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Google Cloud APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Create a service account in GCP and set the permissions you need for Pipedream workflows.
