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.

    },
    getAttributeKey() {

};

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.

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream app for Slack enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream app for Slack is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Automate posting updates to your team channels
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
And much more!

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

chat:writechat:write.customizechat:write.publicfiles:read
