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

Description:Emit new event when a new child object is discovered within a specific path
Version:0.0.6
Key:firebase_admin_sdk-new-child-object

Firebase Admin SDK Overview

With the Firebase Admin SDK API, you can build a variety of different
applications and tools. For example, you could build a tool to manage your
Firebase project's users, or a tool to monitor your Firebase project's data
usage. You could also build an app that helps you manage your Firebase
project's settings, or an app that helps you troubleshoot your Firebase
project's data.

Trigger Code

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "firebase_admin_sdk-new-child-object",
  name: "New Child Object in a Realtime Database",
  description: "Emit new event when a new child object is discovered within a specific path",
  version: "0.0.6",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    path: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.firebase,
        "path",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async processEvent(event) {
      const { timestamp } = event;
      const ref = this.firebase.getApp().database()
        .ref(this.path);
      const snapshot = await ref.get();
      const children = snapshot.val() || {};
      for (const [
        key,
        value,
      ] of Object.entries(children)) {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(key, timestamp);
        const child = {
          [key]: value,
        };
        this.$emit(child, meta);
      }
    },
    generateMeta(key, timestamp) {
      return {
        id: key,
        summary: `New child object: ${key}`,
        ts: timestamp,
      };
    },
  },
};

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
Firebase Admin SDKfirebaseappThis component uses the Firebase Admin SDK app.
Polling Intervaltimer$.interface.timer

Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule

Database RegiondatabaseRegionstringSelect a value from the drop down menu:{ "label": "us-central1", "value": "firebaseio.com" }{ "label": "europe-west1", "value": "europe-west1.firebasedatabase.app" }{ "label": "asia-southeast1", "value": "asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app" }
Pathpathstring

A relative path to the location of child data

Trigger Authentication

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

  1. Enable the Cloud Firestore API on your Firebase account, and make sure you've created at least one collection in the database.

  2. Follow these instructions to generate a private key tied to your Firebase service account. This will generate a JSON file that contains the project ID, private key, and client email that you should paste below.

  3. When entering the private key, please add the full string included in the JSON file, from -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- to -----END PRIVATE KEY-----, with all newline characters included.

Action

Description:Create a new column in a spreadsheet
Version:0.1.2

Google Sheets Overview

Some examples of things you can build using the Google Sheets API include:

  • A web app that lets users input data into a Google Sheet
  • A script that automatically updates a Google Sheet with data from another
    source
  • A tool that generates graphs and charts from data in a Google Sheet
  • A service that sends data from a Google Sheet to another API or application

Action Code

Action Authentication

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

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