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 posted to a subscribed channel.
Version:0.0.6
Key:youtube_data_api-new-videos-in-subscribed-channels

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";

/**
 * 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`.

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.

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

Description:Upsert a row of data in a Google Sheet. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append)
Version:0.1.12
Key:google_sheets-upsert-row

Google Sheets Overview

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Action Code

import { v4 as uuid } from "uuid";
import common from "../common/worksheet.mjs";
import { VALUE_RENDER_OPTION } from "../../common/constants.mjs";
import {
  omitEmptyKey, toSingleLineString,
} from "../../common/utils.mjs";

const { googleSheets } = common.props;

/**
 * This action performs an upsert operation, similar to the MySQL `INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY
 * UPDATE` operation, on a Google Spreadsheet. If a row in the spreadsheet has `value` in `column`
 * (i.e., a duplicated key), that row is updated. Otherwise, a new row is appended to the
 * spreadsheet.
 *
 * To determine if and where a duplicate key exists in the spreadsheet, this action uses [Google
 * Sheet's `MATCH` function](https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093378) in a new temporary
 * hidden worksheet. Uses roughly the method described in [this stackoverflow
 * answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49439220) and [this GitHub
 * comment](https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/1824#issuecomment-949940177).
