Trigger#

New Stories on Dev.to

Description:Emit new Dev.to story

Version:0.0.4

Key:dev_to-fresh-stories

View on GitHub

Dev.to Overview#

The Dev.to API enables programmatic interaction with Dev.to, a community for software developers to share articles and engage with content. Through the API, you can automate content creation, management, and analysis. Accessing user articles, managing comments, and triggering actions based on Dev.to events are just a few capabilities at your disposal. By leveraging these with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft powerful automations that respond in real-time to activities on Dev.to, streamlining your content strategy and community engagement.

Trigger Code#

import devTo from "../../dev_to.app.mjs";
import moment from "moment";
import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  name: "New Stories",
  type: "source",
  key: "dev_to-fresh-stories",
  description: "Emit new Dev.to story",
  version: "0.0.4",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    devTo,
  },
  dedupe: "greatest",
  async run({ $ }) {
    const data = await this.devTo.getArticles($, {
      params: {
        per_page: 1000,
        top: 1,
      },
    });

    data.forEach((event) => {
      this.$emit(event, {
        id: event.id,
        ts: moment(event.published_timestamp).valueOf(),
        summary: event.title,
      });
    });
  },
};

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
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Timer	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll Dev.to for new articles
Dev.to	`devTo`	`app`	This component uses the Dev.to app.

Trigger Authentication#

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

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Drive API.

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
