Curated Overview#

The Curated API enables you to automate the management of your newsletters. With it, you can create issues, manage subscribers, and curate content, all programmatically. This allows for rich integrations with other tools and systems, offering opportunities to streamline your newsletter operations. Using Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to set up custom workflows, trigger actions based on various events, and connect Curated with a plethora of other services to enhance your newsletter productivity.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  name: "New Issue Published",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "curated-new-issue-published",
  description: "Emit new event when a issue is published.",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    publicationId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.curated,
        "publicationId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    emitEvent(data) {
      if (!data.published_at) {
        return;
      }

      this.$emit(data, {
        id: data.id,
        summary: `New issue published with id ${data.id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(data.published_at),
      });
    },
    async getResources(args = {}) {
      const {
        page, data,
      } = await this.curated.getIssues({
        ...args,
        publicationId: this.publicationId,
      });

      return {
        currentPage: page,
        resources: data.filter((issue) => !issue.published),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
Curated	`curated`	`app`	This component uses the Curated app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Publication ID	`publicationId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

To retrieve your API key,
* Navigate to your Curated account and sign in
* Go to “Account” on the top right > “Account API key”

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

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

module.exports = {

  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
