Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a new user follows your channel.
Version:0.1.2
Key:twitch-new-follower

Twitch Overview

The Twitch API unlocks a world of possibilities for engaging with live streaming communities and understanding audience behaviors. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate many aspects of Twitch interaction and analysis. From tracking stream stats to automating chat messages, the Twitch API lets you create workflows that interact with Twitch's vast live streaming ecosystem. Pipedream's serverless platform streamlines these tasks, making it simple to connect Twitch with other services for enhanced functionalities.

Trigger Code

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Follower",
  key: "twitch-new-follower",
  description: "Emit new event when a new user follows your channel.",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.1.2",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getMeta(item) {
      const {
        user_id, followed_at, user_name,
      } = item;

      return {
        id: user_id + followed_at,
        summary: `${user_name} is a new follower`,
        ts: new Date(followed_at).getTime(),
      };
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async deploy() {
      // get the authenticated user
      const { data: authenticatedUserData } = await this.twitch.getUsers();
      this.db.set("authenticatedUserId", authenticatedUserData[0].id);
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const params = {
      broadcaster_id: this.db.get("authenticatedUserId"),
    };
    // get the user_ids of the streamers followed by the authenticated user
    const follows = this.paginate(
      this.twitch.getUserFollows.bind(this),
      params,
    );

    for await (const follow of follows) {
      this.$emit(follow, this.getMeta(follow));
    }
  },
};

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.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

Action

Description:Create an event in a Google Calendar. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/events/insert)
Version:0.2.4
Key:google_calendar-create-event

Google Calendar Overview

The Google Calendar API lets you dip into the powerhouse of scheduling, allowing for the reading, creation, and manipulation of events and calendars directly from your applications. Through Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Google Calendar into a myriad of workflows, automating event management, syncing with other services, setting up custom reminders, or even collating data for reporting. The key here is to streamline your calendar-related processes, ensuring that your time management is as efficient and automated as possible.
