Google Calendar Overview#

The Google Calendar API gives developers access to Google Calendar data,
allowing them to create their own applications that can read, write, and update
calendar data. With the API, users can integrate their own calendar
applications with Google Calendar, giving them the ability to manage their
calendars in one place. The API also provides the ability to search for events
and create new events.

Possible applications that could be built using the Google Calendar API
include:

A calendar application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to manage their calendars in one place.
A calendar application that allows users to search for events and create new
events.
A to-do list application that integrates with Google Calendar, allowing users
to see their tasks and events in one place.
A reminder application that uses Google Calendar data to remind users of
upcoming events.

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
Google Calendar	`pipedream`	`app`	This component uses the Google Calendar app.
Google Calendar	`googleCalendar`	`app`	This component uses the Google Calendar app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Calendar ID	`calendarId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Name	`eventId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Minutes Before	`time`	`integer`	Number of minutes to trigger before the start of the calendar event.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventshttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.settings.readonly

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.
