Webtasks

🐬 Ocean Protocol's webtasks doing automatic things for us via webtask.io

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 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

npm install wt-cli -g
npm start

And go to 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:

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
