Strava Overview#

The Strava API lets you tap into the robust data from Strava's fitness app, which is a playground for athletes worldwide to track their workouts. With Pipedream, you can automate actions based on activities uploaded to Strava, such as running, biking, or swimming. Imagine syncing workout data to spreadsheets for analysis, auto-posting achievements to social media, or integrating with calendar apps for better scheduling. Pipedream's serverless platform makes it a breeze to create workflows that can listen for Strava webhooks, process data, and trigger actions in countless other apps.

Trigger Code#

import strava from "../../strava.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "strava-activity-created",
  name: "New Activity Created Event",
  description: "Emit new event when a new activity is created",

        "activity.create",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    console.log(event);
    let details;
    try {
      details = await this.strava.getActivity({
        activityId: event.object_id,
      });
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(`Error fetching activity details: ${err}`);
    }
    let summary = "Activity created";
    if (details && details.name) {

Pinterest Overview#

The Pinterest API opens a portal to interact programmatically with Pinterest's rich data, including boards, pins, and user information. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate actions like posting new pins, extracting pin data for analysis, and synchronizing Pinterest content with other platforms. The potential extends to marketing optimization, content management, and audience engagement, all automated and integrated within the Pipedream ecosystem.
