## Tasks

**`webtask-medium.js`**: Generic task to fetch and reconstruct items from any medium publication.

Requires the Medium username appended at the end of the url, e.g. locally:

```
http://localhost:8080/MEDIUM_USERNAME
```

When published as a web task, append the taskname followed by the Medium username at the end:

```
https://TASK_URL/TASK_NAME/MEDIUM_USERNAME
```

---

**`webtask-youtube.js`**: Generic task to fetch and reconstruct items from any YouTube account. For now, only fetches a playlist. YouTube API key is provided via [secret environment variable](https://webtask.io/docs/issue_parameters) `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` setup in web editor of webtask.io

Construct your request url like so, e.g. locally:

```
http://localhost:8080/YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_ID
```

Add the task name when published on webtask.io:

```
https://TASK_URL/TASK_NAME/YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_ID
```

## Development

```bash
npm install wt-cli -g
npm start
```

And go to [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)

## Deployment

All tasks are running serverless on webtask.io where you can login with your GitHub account. Then interact with it locally with the `wt-cli`:

```bash
npm install wt-cli -g
wt init YOUR_GITHUB_EMAIL

wt create webtask-medium.js --name medium

# make sure it's there and get url
wt ls
```
