DataTrails (formerly RKVST) Overview#

The DataTrails API, formerly known as RKVST, is designed to track the provenance and integrity of digital assets across their lifecycle. With this API, you can create an immutable record of actions, decisions, and processes that affect any asset, thereby providing an auditable trail. Leveraging Pipedream, you can automate workflows that require secure, verifiable, and traceable asset history. You can react to events in real-time, integrate with other services, and trigger actions based on asset changes or compliance checks.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "rkvst-asset-created",

  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary(event) {
      return `New message from agent with Id: ${event.identity}`;
    },
    getParams() {
      return {
        fn: this.rkvst.listAssets,
        dataField: "assets",
      };
    },
    getTimeField() {
      return "at_time";
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Ahrefs Overview#

Ahrefs API taps into the vast data reserves of Ahrefs, a robust SEO tool, to programmatically access insights into backlink profiles, keyword rankings, and SEO health. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate SEO monitoring, integrate with content management systems, trigger alerts for new or lost backlinks, or gather intelligence for keyword research—all without manual intervention.
