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

Description:Emit new event for each new Youtube video added to a Playlist.
Version:0.0.10
Key:youtube_data_api-new-videos-in-playlist

YouTube (Data API) Overview

There are lots of things you can build using the YouTube API! Here are just a
few examples:

  • A YouTube video player
  • A YouTube search engine
  • A tool to help you find popular videos on YouTube
  • A way to keep track of your favorite YouTube videos
  • A way to find new and interesting YouTube channels to watch

Trigger Code

import youtubeDataApi from "../../youtube_data_api.app.mjs";
import common from "./common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  type: "source",
  key: "youtube_data_api-new-videos-in-playlist",
  name: "New Videos in Playlist",
  description: "Emit new event for each new Youtube video added to a Playlist.",
  version: "0.0.10",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    youtubeDataApi,
    maxResults: {
      propDefinition: [
        youtubeDataApi,
        "maxResults",
      ],
    },
    ...common.props,
  },
};

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.
LabelPropTypeDescription
YouTube (Data API)youtubeDataApiappThis component uses the YouTube (Data API) app.
Maximum ResultsmaxResultsinteger

The maximum number of results in a channel to return. Should be divisible by 5 (ex. 5, 10, 15).

N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
Polling intervaltimer$.interface.timer

Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule

Playlist IDplaylistIdstring

The ID of the playlist to search for new videos in.

Trigger Authentication

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

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

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.uploadhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube

About YouTube (Data API)

With the YouTube Data API, you can add a variety of YouTube features to your application. Use the API to upload videos, manage playlists and subscriptions, update channel settings, and more.

Action

Description:Send a direct message to a single user. See [postMessage](https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage) or [scheduleMessage](https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.scheduleMessage) docs here
Version:0.2.18
Key:slack-send-direct-message

Slack Overview

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions, or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

  • Automate posting updates to your team channels
  • Create a bot to answer common questions
  • Integrate with your existing tools and services
  • And much more!

Action Code
