Changes to Specific Files (Shared Drive) on Google Drive

Description:Watches for changes to specific files in a shared drive, emitting an event when a change is made to one of those files

Google Drive Overview#

The Google Drive API on Pipedream allows you to automate various file management tasks, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting files within your Google Drive. You can also share files, manage permissions, and monitor changes to files and folders. This opens up possibilities for creating workflows that seamlessly integrate with other apps and services, streamlining document handling, backup processes, and collaborative workflows.

Trigger Code#

// This source processes changes to specific files in a user's Google Drive,
// implementing strategy enumerated in the Push Notifications API docs:
// https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/push .
//
// This source has two interfaces:
//
// 1) The HTTP requests tied to changes in files in the user's Google Drive
// 2) A timer that runs on regular intervals, renewing the notification channel as needed

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 Drive	`googleDrive`	`app`	This component uses the Google Drive 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.
Drive	`drive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Files	`files`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Minimum Interval Per File	`perFileInterval`	`integer`	How many minutes to wait until the same file can emit another event. If set to `0`, this interval is disabled and all events will be emitted.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Drive uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Drive account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Drive 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 Drive API.

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

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

About Google Drive#

Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service which allows you to create and share your work online, and access your documents from anywhere.

ScrapeNinja Overview#

ScrapeNinja API on Pipedream allows you to craft powerful serverless workflows for web scraping without the hassle of managing proxies or browsers. It's a tool that can extract data from websites, handling JavaScript rendering and anti-bot measures with ease. By integrating ScrapeNinja with Pipedream, you can automate data collection, collate and process the scraped data, and connect it to numerous other services for further analysis, alerting, or storage.

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
ScrapeNinja	`scrapeninja`	`app`	This component uses the ScrapeNinja app.
URL	`url`	`string`	The URL to scrape.
Wait For Selector	`waitForSelector`	`string`	CSS selector to wait for before considering the page loaded.
Post Wait Time	`postWaitTime`	`integer`	Wait for specified amount of seconds after page load (from 1 to 12s). Use this only if ScrapeNinja failed to wait for required page elements automatically.
Dump Iframe	`dumpIframe`	`string`	If some particular iframe needs to be dumped, specify its name HTML value in this argument. The ScrapeNinja JS renderer will wait for CSS selector to wait for iframe DOM elements to appear inside.
Wait For Selector Iframe	`waitForSelectorIframe`	`string`	If `Dump Iframe` is activated, this property allows to wait for CSS selector inside this iframe.
Extractor Target Iframe	`extractorTargetIframe`	`boolean`	If `Dump Iframe` is activated, this property allows to run JS extractor function against iframe HTML instead of running it against base body. This is only useful if `Dump Iframe` is activated.
Headers	`headers`	`string[]`	Custom headers to send with the request. By default, regular Chrome browser headers are sent to the target URL.
Retry Number	`retryNum`	`integer`	Amount of attempts.
Geo	`geo`	`string`	Geo location for basic proxy pools (you can purchase premium ScrapeNinja proxies for wider country selection and higher proxy quality). Read more about ScrapeNinja proxy setup
Proxy	`proxy`	`string`	Premium or your own proxy URL (overrides `Geo` prop). Read more about ScrapeNinja proxy setup
Timeout	`timeout`	`integer`	Timeout per attempt, in seconds. Each retry will take [timeout] number of seconds.
Text Not Expected	`textNotExpected`	`string[]`	Text which will trigger a retry from another proxy address.
Status Not Expected	`statusNotExpected`	`integer[]`	HTTP response statuses which will trigger a retry from another proxy address.
Block Images	`blockImages`	`boolean`	Block images from loading. This will speed up page loading and reduce bandwidth usage.
Block Media	`blockMedia`	`boolean`	Block (CSS, fonts) from loading. This will speed up page loading and reduce bandwidth usage.
Screenshot	`screenshot`	`boolean`	Take a screenshot of the page. Pass "false" to increase the speed of the request.
Catch Ajax Headers URL Mask	`catchAjaxHeadersUrlMask`	`string`	Useful to dump some XHR response. Pass URL mask here. For example, if you need to catch all requests to https://example.com/api/data.json, pass "api/data.json" here. In response, you will get new property `.info.catchedAjax` with the XHR response data - { url, method, headers[], body , status, responseHeaders{} }
Viewport Width	`viewportWidth`	`integer`	Width of the viewport.
Viewport Height	`viewportHeight`	`integer`	Height of the viewport.
Viewport Device Scale Factor	`viewportDeviceScaleFactor`	`integer`	Device scale factor for the viewport.
Viewport Has Touch	`viewportHasTouch`	`boolean`	Whether the viewport has touch capabilities.
Viewport Is Mobile	`viewportIsMobile`	`boolean`	Whether the viewport is mobile.
Viewport Is Landscape	`viewportIsLandscape`	`boolean`	Whether the viewport is in landscape mode.
Extractor	`extractor`	`string`	Custom JS function to extract JSON values from scraped HTML. Write&test your own extractor on https://scrapeninja.net/cheerio-sandbox/
