Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

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#

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

View on GitHub

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Trigger Code#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";

	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URL	`url`	`string`	Enter the URL for any public RSS feed
Published After	`publishedAfter`	`string`	Emit items published after the specified date in ISO 8601 format .e.g `2022-12-07T12:57:10+07:00`

Save Event to Firestore on Firebase Admin SDK

Version:0.4.4

View on GitHub

Firebase Admin SDK Overview#

The Firebase Admin SDK API provides powerful backend functionality for Firebase apps. It allows you to interact with Firebase services like Firestore, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Storage, and Firebase Authentication directly from a server. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate complex workflows, respond to Firebase events in real-time, and integrate with countless other services.

Action Code#

// legacy_hash_id: a_rJipb5
import admin from "firebase-admin";
import lodash from "lodash";

export default {
  key: "firebase_admin_sdk-replicate-event-firestore",
  name: "Save Event to Firestore",
  description: "Replicate event in Firestore",
  version: "0.4.4",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    firebase_admin_sdk: {
      type: "app",
      app: "firebase_admin_sdk",
    },
    deliveryId: {
      type: "string",
    },
    firestoreCollection: {
      type: "string",
    },
    data: {
      type: "string",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    // Enter values for the following parameters below this code step,
    // These get passed to the initializeApp method below.
    const {
      projectId,
      clientEmail,
      privateKey,
    } = this.firebase_admin_sdk.$auth;

    // Before passing the privateKey to the initializeApp constructor,
    // we have to replace newline characters with literal newlines
    const formattedPrivateKey = privateKey.replace(/\\n/g, "\n");

    const app = admin.initializeApp({
      credential: admin.credential.cert({
        projectId,
        clientEmail,
        privateKey: formattedPrivateKey,
      }),
    });

    const db = admin.firestore();
    const deliveryId = this.deliveryId;

    let updates = [];
    updates.push(`updating ${deliveryId}`);

    const p1 = db.collection(this.firestoreCollection).doc(deliveryId)
      .set(lodash.assign({}, this.data, {
        pipedream: {
          updatedAt: (new Date().toISOString()),
        },
      }))
      .then(function () {
        updates.push("Updated successfully");
        app.delete().then(function () {
          updates.push("App deleted successfully");
        })
          .catch(function (error) {
            updates.push("Error deleting app:", error);
          });
      })
      .catch(function (error) {
        updates.push("Error writing:", error);
      });

    const result = await Promise.all([
      p1,
    ]);

    $.export("updates", updates);

    return result;
  },
};

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Firebase Admin SDK	`firebase_admin_sdk`	`app`	This component uses the Firebase Admin SDK app.
deliveryId	`deliveryId`	`string`
firestoreCollection	`firestoreCollection`	`string`
data	`data`	`string`

Action Authentication#

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

Enable the Cloud Firestore API on your Firebase account, and make sure you've created at least one collection in the database.
Follow these instructions to generate a private key tied to your Firebase service account. This will generate a JSON file that contains the project ID, private key, and client email that you should paste below.
When entering the private key, please add the full string included in the JSON file, from -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- to -----END PRIVATE KEY-----, with all newline characters included.
