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 my article",
  key: "dev_to-my-articles",
  description: "Emit new event for each new article published on your Dev.to account",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.3",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    devTo,
  },
  dedupe: "greatest",
  async run({ $ }) {
    const data = await this.devTo.getMyArticles($, {
      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.

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 Salesforce (REST API) provides a powerful platform for creating and managing customer relationships with a wide array of features like data manipulation, querying, and complex automation.
