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.

lobste.rs Overview#

The lobste.rs API provides access to a wealth of information from the lobste.rs community, a computing-focused curated link aggregation site. It offers endpoints to fetch stories, comments, and user details, which can be integrated into various workflows on Pipedream. This integration allows you to monitor new content, track topics or user activity, and even collate data for analysis. With Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect lobste.rs with hundreds of other apps to create tailored automations without managing servers or writing extensive code.

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Action Code#

import mysql from "../../mysql.app.mjs";
import utils from "../common/utils.mjs";

export default {
  key: "mysql-create-row",
  name: "Create Row",
  description: "Adds a new row. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/insert.html)",
  type: "action",
  version: "2.0.5",
  props: {
    mysql,
    table: {
      description: "The table to add a row to",
      propDefinition: [
        mysql,
        "table",
      ],
      reloadProps: true,
    },
  },
  additionalProps() {
    return this.getColumnProps(this.table);
  },
  methods: utils,
  async run({ $ }) {
    const { table } = this;

    const {
      columns, values,
    } = await this.getColumnAndValueArrays(table);

    const result = await this.mysql.insertRow({
      table,
      columns,
      values,
    });

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully added ${result.affectedRows} row(s) to table ${table}`);

    return result;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.
