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";

/**
 * Uses [YouTube API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs) to get the authenticated user's
 * subscriptions with a `totalItemCount` for each. The user's subscriptions are used to get the
 * subscribed-to channels. Then the ID of the 'uploads' playlist in each channel is used to get
 * playlist items of recently uploaded videos. Process is taken roughly from [this stackoverflow
 * comment](https://bit.ly/3lp4uRS).
 *
 * Sequence: Subscriptions -> Channels -> PlaylistItems
 *
 * The YouTube API allows [listing channels](https://bit.ly/3Fh5Hm2) using a comma-separated list of
 * channel IDs, so channels are fetched using a single series of paginated requests. To list
 * playlist items [PlaylistItems](https://bit.ly/2WN7EW2), a separate request must be made for each
 * channel's 'uploads' playlist. To limit the number of requests, playlist items are fetched only
 * for channels (subscriptions) whose [totalItemCount](https://bit.ly/3ldUYAR) is greater than the
 * last recorded `totalItemCount`.

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
YouTube (Data API)	`youtubeDataApi`	`app`	This component uses the YouTube (Data API) app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Discord Overview#

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

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
