I need help with inserting a google drive image into google docs document using google api
To insert an image from Google Drive into a Google Docs document using the Google API, you’ll need to follow these general steps: 1. Ensure you have the necessary OAuth scopes for Google Drive and Google Docs. 2. Get the image URL from Google Drive. 3. Use the Google Docs API to insert the image into your document. Here’s an example Pipedream component that demonstrates how you might insert an image into a Google Docs document: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Replace with your Google Docs document ID and image URL from Google Drive const documentId = "YOUR_DOCUMENT_ID"; const imageUrl = "YOUR_IMAGE_URL_FROM_GOOGLE_DRIVE"; // Construct the request body to insert the image const requestBody = { requests: [ { insertInlineImage: { location: { index: 1, // You can change this index to the position where you want to insert the image }, uri: imageUrl, objectSize: { height: { magnitude: 50, // Set the desired height for the image unit: 'PT', }, width: { magnitude: 50, // Set the desired width for the image unit: 'PT', }, }, }, }, ], }; // Make the API request to Google Docs return await axios($, { method: "POST", url: `https://docs.googleapis.com/v1/documents/${documentId}:batchUpdate`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: requestBody, }); }, }); Please replace YOUR_DOCUMENT_ID with the ID of your Google Docs document and YOUR_IMAGE_URL_FROM_GOOGLE_DRIVE with the URL of the image you want to insert. The index value in the location object specifies where in the document you want to insert the image. The magnitude values under objectSize allow you to specify the size of the image. Remember to check that you have the correct OAuth scopes enabled for your Google app on Pipedream. You’ll need scopes for both Google
how to read a file from /tmp folder and convert it into a blob type
To read a file from the /tmp folder and convert it into a Blob type in a Pipedream workflow, you would typically use a code step in Node.js. However, it’s important to note that the concept of a “Blob” is specific to web browsers and isn’t available in Node.js. Instead, you can work with binary data using a Buffer object. Here’s an example of how you might read a file from the /tmp directory and work with its binary data: import fs from "fs/promises"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Read the file from the /tmp directory const filePath = '/tmp/yourfile.ext'; // Replace with your file path const fileData = await fs.readFile(filePath); // fileData is a Buffer object containing the binary data of the file // You can now use fileData as needed in your workflow // If you need to return the data, you can convert the Buffer to a base64 string const base64Data = fileData.toString('base64'); // Return the base64-encoded data return base64Data; }, }) This code reads a file from the /tmp directory and converts the binary data into a base64-encoded string, which is a common way to represent binary data as a string. If you need to work with the data in a different format or pass it to another service, you may need to adjust the code accordingly. Remember that the /tmp directory has limited storage, and you should manage the files within it to avoid reaching the disk limits.
base on your answer how do I make that fileData into a blob
To convert fileData into a Blob in a Pipedream workflow, you would typically be working with binary data and you might want to create a Blob to upload it to a service that accepts Blob data. However, since Pipedream workflows are executed in a Node.js environment, the concept of a Blob, as it is typically known in the browser context, does not directly apply. In Node.js, binary data is often handled with Buffer objects. If you have file data in a Pipedream step and you want to handle it as binary data for an upload, you would use a Buffer. Here’s an example of how you might convert a string to a Buffer and then make an HTTP request to upload that data: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Assuming `fileData` is a string with your file content const fileData = "your file data here"; const buffer = Buffer.from(fileData); // Now you can use `buffer` to send the binary data in an HTTP request const response = await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://your.upload.endpoint", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream", // Other headers as required by the endpoint }, data: buffer, }); return response; }, }); In this code, Buffer.from(fileData) converts the string fileData into a Buffer containing the binary data. You can then use this Buffer in an HTTP request to upload the file data to a service. If you’re working with file data that’s already in a binary format, you can pass it directly to the data property of the axios request configuration. If you need further assistance with a specific use case or have more details about the fileData you’re working with, please provide additional context so I can offer more targeted help.
how to delete a google docs document using google api
To delete a Google Docs document using the Google API, you’ll need to make an HTTP DELETE request to the Google Drive API, since Google Docs documents are stored in Google Drive. Here’s an example Pipedream component that demonstrates how to do this: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const fileId = 'YOUR_FILE_ID'; // Replace with the ID of the Google Docs document you want to delete return await axios($, { method: "DELETE", url: `https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/${fileId}`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, }); }, }); Make sure to replace 'YOUR_FILE_ID' with the actual ID of the Google Docs document you want to delete. The document ID can be found in the URL of the document when it’s open in your web browser. Please note that this operation will permanently delete the document, and it cannot be recovered once deleted. Use this with caution.
how to get the current month and year MMMM YYYY in node.js code step?
To get the current month and year in the format MMMM YYYY in a Node.js code step on Pipedream, you can use the date-fns library, which is a modern JavaScript date utility library. Here’s an example of how you can do this: import { format } from 'date-fns'; export default defineComponent({ async run({ $ }) { const currentMonthYear = format(new Date(), "MMMM yyyy"); return currentMonthYear; }, }) This code uses the format function from date-fns to format the current date into the MMMM YYYY format, where MMMM will be the full name of the month and YYYY will be the four-digit year.
how to delete all files in /tmp folder
To delete all files in the /tmp folder in a Python step within a Pipedream workflow, you can use the following code: import os import shutil # Path to the directory you want to clean tmp_dir = '/tmp' # Remove all files and directories in the /tmp directory for filename in os.listdir(tmp_dir): file_path = os.path.join(tmp_dir, filename) try: if os.path.isfile(file_path) or os.path.islink(file_path): os.unlink(file_path) elif os.path.isdir(file_path): shutil.rmtree(file_path) except Exception as e: print(f'Failed to delete {file_path}. Reason: {e}') This script will iterate over all files and directories within /tmp, removing each one. If an error occurs during deletion, it will print the reason to the logs. Remember that this operation is irreversible, so use it with caution.
how to set a delay like 1 minute in node.js code
To set a delay of 1 minute in Node.js code within a Pipedream workflow, you can use the $.flow.delay function. Here’s an example of how you might write a Pipedream component to achieve this: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Delay the workflow for 1 minute (60000 milliseconds) await $.flow.delay(60000); }, });
Getting an error when reading the array buffer of a google drive file with file size 131MB.
To assist you better with the error you’re encountering when reading the array buffer of a Google Drive file, I would need some additional information: 1. Could you please provide the specific error message you’re receiving? 2. Can you share the code snippet that is causing the error? 3. Are you using a specific Pipedream component or writing custom code to read the file from Google Drive? Once I have this information, I’ll be able to provide a more accurate and helpful response.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform" // fs and path imports are not necessary as the file system operations are handled differently in Pipedream export default defineComponent({ props: { google_drive: { type: "app", app: "google_drive", } }, async run({steps, $}) { try { const documentId = '10DWV4JC8EsI4u35Kt4HMQ735ii8MSajNtxX5HAuYL0k' // const documentId = steps.create_doc_from_template.$return_value; const response = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: `https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/${documentId}/export`, params: { mimeType: 'application/pdf', }, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_drive.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, responseType: 'arraybuffer', }); const pdfContent = response; const filePath = '/tmp/export_document.pdf'; await $?.writeFile(filePath, Buffer.from(pdfContent)); return filePath; } catch (error){ console.log('error', error); return $.flow.exit(error); } }, })
``` In the provided code, I've made the following changes: 1. Removed the `fs` and `path` imports as they are not necessary in Pipedream. File system operations are handled differently. 2. Used the `$?.writeFile` method provided by the Pipedream platform to write files to the `/tmp` directory. 3. Corrected the `await fs.writeFileSync` to `await $?.writeFile` as the former is not valid in Pipedream's environment. 4. Removed the `path.join` usage since the file path is a simple string that doesn't require path manipulation functions. Remember to replace the `documentId` with the actual ID of the document you wish to export, or uncomment the line that retrieves the `documentId` from a previous step if that's applicable in your workflow.Got this error TypeError: $?.writeFile is not a function
It appears you’re trying to write a file within a Pipedream workflow and encountered a TypeError because $?.writeFile is not a recognized function. In Pipedream’s Node.js environment, you should use the fs (filesystem) module to write files, and you can only write to the /tmp directory. Here’s an example of how you can write a file using the fs module: import fs from "fs"; import { file } from 'tmp-promise'; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const { path, cleanup } = await file(); await fs.promises.writeFile(path, "Your content here"); // Do something with the file here await cleanup(); } }); Make sure to replace "Your content here" with the actual content you want to write to the file.
