Cutt.ly Overview#

The Cutt.ly API allows users to shorten URLs, track their performance, and manage link settings. With Pipedream, you can automate these tasks and create workflows that respond to various triggers, like new form submissions, emails, or scheduled timers. Utilize Pipedream's capabilities to connect Cutt.ly with other apps, store and analyze click data, and streamline digital marketing processes.

Trigger Code#

import cuttLy from "../../cutt_ly.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {

    });
    if (stats.clicks > clicks) {
      const difference = stats.clicks - clicks;
      const meta = this.generateMeta(difference);
      this.$emit(stats, meta);
      this._setClicks(stats.clicks);
    }
  },

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
