To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a repository is forked
Version:1.0.7
Key:github-new-fork

GitHub Overview

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.

Trigger Code

import common from "../common/common-flex.mjs";
import {
  getSampleTimerEvent, getSampleWebhookEvent,
} from "./common-sample-events.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "github-new-fork",
  name: "New Fork",
  description: "Emit new event when a repository is forked",
  version: "1.0.7",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSampleTimerEvent,
    getSampleWebhookEvent,
    getWebhookEvents() {
      return [
        "fork",
      ];
    },
    shouldEmitWebhookEvent(body) {
      return !!body?.forkee;
    },
    getWebhookEventItem(body) {
      return body.forkee;
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New fork: "${item.name}"`;
    },
    getPollingData(args) {
      return this.github.getRepositoryForks(args);
    },
    getHttpDocsLink() {
      return "https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#fork";
    },
    getTimerDocsLink() {
      return "https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/forks?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-forks";
    },
  },
};

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.

GitHubgithubappThis component uses the GitHub app.
RepositoryrepoFullnamestringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

repoadmin:orgadmin:public_keyadmin:org_hookgistprojectnotificationsuserwrite:discussionwrite:packagesread:packagesadmin:repo_hook

With it, you can fetch detailed word meanings, usage examples, and phonetic transcriptions, enabling a variety of educational and linguistic automation opportunities on Pipedream. This API is valuable for developers looking to create language learning tools, content enrichment services, or to simply integrate rich lexical data into their applications.
