Inoreader Overview#

The Inoreader API taps into the functionality of the Inoreader content reader, allowing the automation of tasks like subscribing to new feeds, listing articles, or marking items as read. In Pipedream, this can be leveraged to create custom workflows that integrate with other apps, trigger actions based on new content, or manage content consumption in a more efficient way.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import category from "../common/category.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "inoreader-new-starred-article",
  name: "New Starred Article",
  description: "Emit new event when a new starred article is added. [See the Documentation](https://www.inoreader.com/developers/stream-contents)",
  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.1",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceName() {
      return "items";
    },
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.app.listStreamContents;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return {
        feedId: category.STARRED,
        params: {
          n: constants.LIMIT_MAX,
          xt: category.READ,
        },
      };
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id,
        summary: `Starred Article: ${resource.title}`,
        ts: Math.floor(+resource.timestampUsec / 1000),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Inoreader	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Inoreader app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API

Trigger Authentication#

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

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