TickTick Overview#

The TickTick API lets you tap into a robust task management framework from Pipedream. If you've ever wanted to streamline your to-do list or automate routine task management, this is your gateway. Use the API to create tasks, retrieve task details, update task status, and more. Automating your TickTick tasks can free up time, ensuring important items never slip through the cracks.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "ticktick-new-task-completed",
  name: "New Task Completed",
  description: "Emit new event when a task is completed.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getPreviousTaskIds() {
      return this.db.get("previousTaskIds") || [];
    },
    _setPreviousTaskIds(previousTaskIds) {
      this.db.set("previousTaskIds", previousTaskIds);
    },
    getSummary(task) {
      return `New Task Completed ID: ${task.id}`;
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const tasks = await this.ticktick.listTasks({
      projectId: this.projectId,
    });
    const previousTaskIds = this._getPreviousTaskIds();
    const currentTaskIds = tasks.map(({ id }) => id);
    const completedTaskIds = tasks.filter(({ completedTime }) => completedTime).map(({ id }) => id);
    for (const id of previousTaskIds) {
      if (!currentTaskIds.includes(id)) {
        completedTaskIds.push(id);
      }
    }
    for (const id of completedTaskIds) {
      const task = await this.ticktick.getTask({
        projectId: this.projectId,
        taskId: id,
      });
      const meta = this.generateMeta(task);
      this.$emit(task, meta);
    }
    const activeTaskIds = tasks.filter(({ completedTime }) => !completedTime).map(({ id }) => id);
    this._setPreviousTaskIds(activeTaskIds);
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
TickTick	`ticktick`	`app`	This component uses the TickTick app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Project ID	`projectId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

tasks:writetasks:read

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 = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
