New Document on MongoDB

Description:Emit new an event when a new document is added to a collection

Version:0.0.9

Key:mongodb-new-document

View on GitHub

MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

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
MongoDB	`mongodb`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Collection	`collection`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Timestamp Field	`timestampField`	`string`	The key of a timestamp field, such as 'created_at' that is set to the current timestamp when a document is created. Must be of type Timestamp.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.

Query IP address on IP2Location

Description:Query IP address using IP2Location API. [See the docs here](https://www.ip2location.com/web-service/ip2location) for how to use this API.

Version:0.0.2

Key:ip2location-query-ip-info

View on GitHub

IP2Location Overview#

The IP2Location API enables you to uncover valuable information about an IP address. With it, you can pinpoint a user's geographic location, such as country, region, city, and even latitude and longitude coordinates. This data is essential for various tasks like localizing content, analyzing traffic, or enhancing security by detecting potentially malicious activity. Using Pipedream, you can automate actions based on IP location data, integrating it with hundreds of other services without writing any code.
