Details#

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.

Trigger#

New Gist on GitHub

Description:Emit new events when new gists are created by the authenticated user. [See the documentatoion](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/gists/gists?apiVersion=20.2.51-28#list-gists-for-the-authenticated-user)

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-gist",
  name: "New Gist",
  description: "Emit new events when new gists are created by the authenticated user. [See the documentatoion](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/gists/gists?apiVersion=20.2.51-28#list-gists-for-the-authenticated-user)",
  version: "0.2.5",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getItems() {
      return this.github.getGists();
    },
    getItemMetadata(item) {
      return {
        summary: `New gist: ${item.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(item.created_at),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
GitHub	`github`	`app`	This component uses the GitHub app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

GitHub uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your GitHub account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into GitHub and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any GitHub API.

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

reporead:orgadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsread:userwrite:discussionadmin:repo_hook

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.
