Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Recreation.gov Overview#

The Recreation.gov API provides access to data about federal recreational activities and areas. With it, you can fetch details about campsites, tours, permits, and articles. On Pipedream, leverage this API to automate notifications, analyze recreational data, or integrate with other services for trip planning or environmental monitoring.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/attribute-based.mjs";

export default {

      return item.CampsiteAccessible !== this.getAttribute();
    },
    getAttributeKey() {
      return "CampsiteAccessible";
    },
  },
};

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
Recreation.gov	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Recreation.gov app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Campsite Id	`campsiteId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Obtaining a Recreation.gov API Key

Recreation.gov's API requires an API key to authenticate requests.

First sign up for an account at https://recreation.gov.

Then open the API dashboard and enabled developer access under your profile.

This will generate an API key for your account to use with Pipedream.

Copy the API key into the field below.

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

Action Code#

import postgresql from "../../postgresql.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Execute SQL Query",
  key: "postgresql-execute-custom-query",
  description: "Execute a custom PostgreSQL query. See [our docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/databases/working-with-sql) to learn more about working with SQL in Pipedream.",

        app: "postgresql",
      },
      label: "PostreSQL Query",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const args = this.postgresql.executeQueryAdapter(this.sql);
    const data = await this.postgresql.executeQuery(args);
    $.export("$summary", `Returned ${data.length} ${data.length === 1
      ? "row"
      : "rows"}`);
    return data;
  },
};

Action Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
