Overview of Reddit#

You could build a tool that monitors specific subreddits and notifies you
when new posts match certain criteria.
You could build a tool that analyzes the posts and comments in a given
subreddit to generate statistics or visualizations about the topic.
You could build a bot that automatically posts or comments in response to
certain keywords or phrases.
You could build a tool that helps manage your Reddit account by automating
tasks like posting, messaging, or voting.
You could build a tool that extracts data from Reddit posts and comments for
use in other applications.

Connect Reddit#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    reddit: {
      type: "app",
      app: "reddit",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://oauth.reddit.com/api/v1/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.reddit.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "User-Agent": `pipedream:v0.0.1 (by /u/pipedream-oauth)`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Filter#

The Filter API is a great way to build powerful workflows that can manipulate
and transform data. Here are some examples of what you can build using the
Filter API:

A workflow that transforms data from one format to another
A workflow that filters out data that does not meet certain criteria
A workflow that sorts data in a specific order
A workflow that calculates statistics or aggregates data
A workflow that combines data from multiple sources

Connect Filter#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    let condition = false
    if (condition == false) {
      $.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
    } else {
        $.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
    }
  },
})

Building a Reddit Workflow with Pipedream

Almost four years ago I blogged about a demo I built using Reddit's API. The demo was a multi-user application that made use of Mongo for persistence and Passport.js for user authentication. You would login, select subreddit's to subscribe to, and then once a day it would email you the new posts from that subreddit. This was built in a "traditional" Node.js style with a server running full time to process requests. I thought it would be fun to build this again (although slightly different) using Pipedream's support for working with the Reddit API. I built two different versions of a simple workflow I'd like to share below.

Updating my Reddit Workflow with Pipedream

Back almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about using Pipedream to build a Reddit email report. The idea was that I wanted a daily email of posts from my subscribed subreddits for the past 24 hours of content. The implementation was a bit complex. I used one workflow to handle "get a days worth of content from subreddit" as a general "API" and another workflow connected to my authentication. It handles getting my subscriptions, hitting the API, and then generating the email. This worked well, but after a while of actually getting the email, I noticed some problems. So I decided to fix that.
