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.

Twitch Overview#

The Twitch API unlocks a world of possibilities for engaging with live streaming communities and understanding audience behaviors. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate many aspects of Twitch interaction and analysis. From tracking stream stats to automating chat messages, the Twitch API lets you create workflows that interact with Twitch's vast live streaming ecosystem. Pipedream's serverless platform streamlines these tasks, making it simple to connect Twitch with other services for enhanced functionalities.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common-polling.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Follower",
  key: "twitch-new-follower",
  description: "Emit new event when a new user follows your channel.",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.1.2",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getMeta(item) {
      const {
        user_id, followed_at, user_name,
      } = item;

      return {
        id: user_id + followed_at,
        summary: `${user_name} is a new follower`,
        ts: new Date(followed_at).getTime(),
      };
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      // get the authenticated user
      const { data: authenticatedUserData } = await this.twitch.getUsers();
      this.db.set("authenticatedUserId", authenticatedUserData[0].id);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const params = {
      broadcaster_id: this.db.get("authenticatedUserId"),
    };
    // get the user_ids of the streamers followed by the authenticated user
    const follows = this.paginate(
      this.twitch.getUserFollows.bind(this),
      params,
    );

    for await (const follow of follows) {
      this.$emit(follow, this.getMeta(follow));
    }
  },
};

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
Twitch	`twitch`	`app`	This component uses the Twitch app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Twitch uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Twitch account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Twitch and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Twitch API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Action#

Send any HTTP Request on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.

Version:1.1.1

Key:http-custom-request

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Action Code#

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

export default {
  key: "http-custom-request",
  name: "Send any HTTP Request",
  description: "Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.",
  type: "action",
  version: "1.1.1",
  props: {
    http,
    httpRequest: {
      propDefinition: [
        http,
        "httpRequest",
      ],
    },
    includeHeaders: {
      type: "boolean",
      label: "Include Response Headers",
      description: "Optionally export the full response headers",
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.httpRequest.execute();

    if (this.includeHeaders) {
      $.export("headers", response.headers);
    }

    return response;
  },
};
