Trigger

Description:Emit new event each time a new hot post is added to the top 10 items in a subreddit.
Version:0.2.1
Key:reddit-new-hot-posts-on-a-subreddit

Reddit Overview

  1. You could build a tool that monitors specific subreddits and notifies you
    when new posts match certain criteria.
  2. You could build a tool that analyzes the posts and comments in a given
    subreddit to generate statistics or visualizations about the topic.
  3. You could build a bot that automatically posts or comments in response to
    certain keywords or phrases.
  4. You could build a tool that helps manage your Reddit account by automating
    tasks like posting, messaging, or voting.
  5. You could build a tool that extracts data from Reddit posts and comments for
    use in other applications.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview

The SWAPI (Star Wars API) provides a wealth of data about the Star Wars
universe to build applications. With the SWAPI, developers can access detailed
Star Wars related data about people, planets, films, species and much more.
From web and mobile applications to data analysis, the possibilities are
limitless.

Here are a few examples of what developers can build using the SWAPI:

  • Create a Star Wars encyclopedia to document the Star Wars universe and its
    characters.
  • Design a custom interactive map to explore the planets of the Star Wars
    universe.
  • Analyze the data to uncover patterns and insights about Star Wars films,
    characters, and species.
  • Design a search engine to query Star Wars related data.
  • Create a mobile app that displays information about the characters, films and
    species in the Star Wars universe.
  • Design a live score system specialized in providing stats related to the Star
    Wars films and characters.

Action Code

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {

  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
