Gitpod Ready-to-Code

IFTTT CLI

Manage IFTTT from the command line.

Featrues

IFTTT is a very useful service that links various services, but no API is provided. Creating a large number of applets can be difficult to manage and maintain. With this tool you can easily manage and maintain IFTTT from the command line.

The specification starts Chrome in headless mode with Puppeteer and performs web operation in the background.

Notes from the Fork

Ultimately, this fork will PR back to the original repo. Until then, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • IFTTT has NO "true" API (e.g. REST, SOAP, etc.) they expose. This CLI tool actually wraps the ifttt.com website, using a headless copy of chromium to surf the site behind the scenes. This makes things somewhat brittle, as any design changes to the website may break this tool's functionality.
  • In the latest site redesign, the trigger and action identifiers are no longer clearly identified on the site, only the collection of services the app interacts with. For the most part, this is in order (the first being the trigger, the second the action), but I have seen cases where that's not the case (which appears to be a function of the app developer's decisions). This fork assumes that works-with #1 is the trigger and works-with-#2 is the action.
  • In fixing chromium to install correctly on GitPod, there may be some additional tools being loaded in the Docker image that aren't necessary, but there wasn't a single clear example end-to-end on how to do it, so I had to piece together several different threads. This will be addressed at a later date.

Getting Started

Installation

On GitPod

Clicking the "Gitpod Ready-to-Code" button (above) launches a GitPod instance with all the appropriate tools loaded. It then compiles and installs ifttt-cli, leaving it ready for you to log in and play with.

NOTE: In order to get all the pieces working on this, it takes some time for the Docker image to load up the first time.

Via NPM

Prerequisites

An environment of Node.js v8.0.0 or higher is required.

Installation

$ npm install -g ifttt-cli

Login

First, log in to IFTTT. Execute the following command to launch Chrome and display the IFTTT login screen. Please login.

$ ifttt login

You can also login in headless mode by specifying the -e, --email option, followed by the e-mail address and password.

$ ifttt login -e [email protected] password

$ ifttt get <applet-id> > recipe.json

Specify -a, --all option instead of applet ID to get recipe information of all applets.

$ ifttt get -a > all-recipe.json

Create

Create an applet of recipe contents by specifying a recipe JSON file.

$ ifttt create recipe.json

Delete

Removes the applet with the specified applet ID.

$ ifttt delete <applet-id>

Update

Update the contents of the recipe by specifying the recipe JSON file.

$ ifttt update recipe.json

Connect to the specified service. If the service needs to log in, Chrome will be launched, so please use your browser to log in.

An example of standard output JSON is this.
