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.

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

export default {
  name: "New Stories",
  type: "source",
  key: "dev_to-fresh-stories",

    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.

Action#

Create a New File on Google Drive

Description:Create a new file from a URL or /tmp/filepath. [See the docs](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/create) for more information

Version:0.1.2

Key:google_drive-create-file

View on GitHub

Google Drive Overview#

Using the Google Drive API, you can build applications that:

Create and manage files and folders
Download and upload files
Share and organize files
Search for files
Track changes to files
And much more!

Troubleshooting

Google Advanced Protection Program must be disabled in order to use the Google Drive app on Pipedream.

If you encounter the error "Google cannot give this app access to your account data because Advanced Protection is turned on for your Google Account", you will need to disable this setting as it blocks third-party apps from accessing Google Drive.
