Wistia Overview#

The Wistia API lets you dive deep into video analytics, manage your media library, and automate video workflows. It's great for developers aiming to extend the functionality of their Wistia-hosted content. When used within Pipedream, you can integrate Wistia with countless other apps and services to create robust automations. You could, for instance, update a CRM with video view data, send custom email alerts based on viewer behavior, or even synchronize video uploads with a content management system.

Trigger Code#

import wistia from "../../wistia.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  name: "New Viewing Session",
  version: "0.0.3",
  key: "wistia-new-viewing-session",
  description: "Emit new event for each new viewing session.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    wistia,
    timer: {
      type: "$.interface.timer",
      static: {
        intervalSeconds: DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL,
      },
    },
  },
  methods: {
    async emitEvent(data) {
      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.event_key,
        summary: `New viewing session with id ${data.event_key}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.received_at),
      });
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getViewingSessions({
        params: {
          per_page: 10,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    let page = 0;

    while (page >= 0) {
      const medias = await this.wistia.getViewingSessions({
        params: {
          page,
          per_page: 100,
        },
      });

      medias.forEach(this.emitEvent);

      if (medias.length < 100) {
        return;
      }

      page++;
    }
  },
};

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
Wistia	`wistia`	`app`	This component uses the Wistia app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

When your Wistia account is created, a master token will automatically be generated for you account, which you can find in the API tab of your Account Settings in your Wistia account. This master token has full read/write permissions on your account. You can generate additional access tokens with various permissions as well.

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.
