X (Twitter) Overview#

The Twitter API on Pipedream enables you to automate interactions with Twitter, from posting tweets to analyzing social media trends. Pipedream's serverless platform provides the tools to create workflows that trigger on specific Twitter activities, process data, and connect with countless other apps for extensive automation scenarios. With Pipedream's integration, you can listen for events such as new tweets, mentions, or followers, and execute actions like tweeting, retweeting, or even leveraging sentiment analysis to gauge public perception.

Trigger Code#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types"; import common from "../common/base.mjs"; import { getUserSummary as getItemSummary } from "../common/getItemSummary.mjs"; import { DOCS_LINK, MAX_RESULTS_PER_PAGE, } from "../../actions/list-followers/list-followers.mjs"; import cacheUserId from "../common/cacheUserId.mjs"; import { getObjIncludes, getUserIncludeIds, } from "../../common/addObjIncludes.mjs"; export default defineSource({ ...common, key: "twitter-new-unfollower-of-user", name: "New Unfollower of User", description: `Emit new event when the specified User loses a Follower [See the documentation](${DOCS_LINK})`, version: "2.1.0", type: "source", props: { ...common.props, userNameOrId: { propDefinition: [ common.props.app, "userNameOrId", ], }, }, methods: { ...common.methods, ...cacheUserId, getItemSummary, getEntityName() { return "Unfollower"; }, getSavedUsers() { return this.db.get("savedUsers"); }, setSavedUsers(data) { this.db.set("savedUsers", data); }, async getResources() { const userId = await this.getCachedUserId(); const params = { $: this, maxPerPage: MAX_RESULTS_PER_PAGE, maxResults: MAX_RESULTS_PER_PAGE, userId, }; const { data, includes, } = await this.app.getUserFollowers(params); data.forEach((user) => user.includes = getObjIncludes(user, includes, getUserIncludeIds)); return data; }, async getAndProcessData(emit = false) { const data = await this.getResources(emit); if (data) { let savedUsers = this.getSavedUsers(); if (savedUsers && emit) { const currentFollowerIds = data.map(({ id }) => id); if (data.length === MAX_RESULTS_PER_PAGE) { const lastKnownFollower = Array.from(data) .reverse() // could be .findLast in Node 18+ .find(({ id }) => currentFollowerIds.includes(id)); const lastKnownIndex = savedUsers.indexOf(lastKnownFollower); savedUsers = savedUsers.slice(0, lastKnownIndex + 1); } savedUsers .filter(({ id }) => !currentFollowerIds.includes(id)) .reverse() .forEach((obj) => { if (emit) this.emitEvent(obj); }); } this.setSavedUsers(data.map(({ id, username, }) => ({ id, username, }))); } }, }, });

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
X (Twitter)	`app`	`app`	This component uses the X (Twitter) app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
User Name or ID	`userNameOrId`	`string`	A Twitter username (handle) prefixed with `@` (e.g. `@pipedream`). You can also use the string `me` to use the authenticated user (default), or a numeric User ID.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

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.
