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.

MySQL Overview#

The MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/table.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mysql-new-column",
  name: "New Column",
  description: "Emit new event when you add a new column to a table. [See the docs here](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/show-columns.html)",
  type: "source",
  version: "2.0.5",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    db: "$.service.db",
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getPreviousColumns() {
      return this.db.get("previousColumns");
    },
    _setPreviousColumns(previousColumns) {
      this.db.set("previousColumns", previousColumns);
    },
    async listResults() {
      const { table } = this;
      let previousColumns = this._getPreviousColumns() || [];
      const columns = await this.mysql.listNewColumns({
        table,
        previousColumns,
      });
      this.iterateAndEmitEvents(columns);

      const newColumnNames =
        columns
          .map((column) => column.Field)
          .filter((c) => !previousColumns.includes(c));

      previousColumns = previousColumns.concat(newColumnNames);
      this._setPreviousColumns(previousColumns);
    },
    generateMeta(column) {
      const columnName = column.Field;
      return {
        id: `${columnName}${this.table}`,
        summary: columnName,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

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
MySQL	`mysql`	`app`	This component uses the MySQL app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs.

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your MySQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications.

About MySQL#

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system.

Recreation.gov Overview#

The Recreation.gov API provides access to data about federal recreational activities and areas. With it, you can fetch details about campsites, tours, permits, and articles. On Pipedream, leverage this API to automate notifications, analyze recreational data, or integrate with other services for trip planning or environmental monitoring.

Action Code#

import app from "../../recreation_gov.app.mjs";
import utils from "../../common/utils.mjs";

export default {

      label: "Offset",

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
Recreation.gov	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Recreation.gov app.
Query	`query`	`string`	Query filter criteria. Searches on campsite name, type, loop, type of use (Overnight/Day), campsite accessible (Yes/No)
Offset	`offset`	`integer`	Used when all results could not be retrieved due to limit of `1000`. Set this offset to fetch next resources.

Action Authentication#

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

Obtaining a Recreation.gov API Key

Recreation.gov's API requires an API key to authenticate requests.

First sign up for an account at https://recreation.gov.

Then open the API dashboard and enabled developer access under your profile.

This will generate an API key for your account to use with Pipedream.

Copy the API key into the field below.
