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 Videos on YouTube Data

Description:Emit new event for each new Youtube video the user posts.

Version:0.0.9

Key:youtube_data_api-new-videos

View on GitHub

YouTube Data Overview#

The YouTube Data API lets you incorporate functions normally executed on the YouTube website into your own website or application. You can perform operations like searching for videos, retrieving channel data, and managing playlists. When integrated with Pipedream's serverless platform, this API can be part of automations that react to events, synchronize YouTube data with other services, or generate custom reports.

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",
  name: "New Videos",
  description: "Emit new event for each new Youtube video the user posts.",
  version: "0.0.9",
  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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
YouTube Data	`youtubeDataApi`	`app`	This component uses the YouTube Data app.
Maximum Results	`maxResults`	`integer`	The maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set. Acceptable values are 0 to 50, inclusive. Default is 20
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

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/youtubehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl

About YouTube Data#

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#

Upload Multiple Files on Dropbox

Description:Uploads multiple file to a selected folder. [See the documentation](https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesUpload__anchor)

Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.
