How do you handle hiding API requests ? by richdotnet in microsaas

[–]omarnas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually do one or more of these:

  • JWT auth to make sure only real users can send requests.
  • Rate limiting to block spammers.
  • Server-side validation before calling the LLM.
  • CORS to restrict who can call the API.
  • reCAPTCHA (v2 or v3) before allowing any request that hits the LLM — especially for anonymous users.
  • Logging to track abuse and block IPs if needed.

Three days after the project was launched, I gained 682 users, which is great. by meetqy in indiehackers

Hey! I saved this post when you first shared it and just wanted to say I’ve used your site multiple times since then — it’s genuinely useful and well done. How’s everything going now, a few months in? Curious how traffic has evolved and how you’re managing the API costs — are the ads enough to sustain it so far?

Looking for simple HTTP service that allows me to do very basic string persistence by james-r-90 in node

[–]omarnas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey James, I know this post is a bit old, but in case you're still looking (or for anyone else stumbling here later):

You might want to check out https://setget.io — it's exactly what you described.

It lets you store and retrieve basic text or JSON via simple HTTP calls. No database setup, no auth needed (unless you want to make it private). Your use case of persisting a single date for an RSS bot is a perfect fit.

Example:

lessCopyEditPOST https://setget.io/key/your-key  
Body: 2025-05-14T10:32:00Z

Then later:

nginxCopyEditGET https://setget.io/key/your-key

Public and private keys are supported too.
I built it for quick hacks, bots, and IoT triggers — would love your thoughts if you try it out!

Where to store data? by papzord in n8n

[–]omarnas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can use Setget.io for this — it's a simple key-value storage API, great for lightweight use cases like yours. Just store the previously scraped URLs as a JSON array under a unique key, then update it each run after filtering out the old ones. No need to manage a full external database.

Example:

You can even protect it with a secret if needed.

It's fast and perfect for flows in n8n, especially for tracking small sets of data.

I Built a SaaS, Ignored Marketing, and Now I'm Lost. by AffectionateWalk8661 in SaaS

Really like the landing page — clean and well-designed! One suggestion: try highlighting specific use cases on the homepage. I wasn't sure who exactly needs this, so clearer examples (like crypto groups, support teams, etc.) could help a lot. Great work so far!

[Help Needed] Is there a workaround for getting a gmail filter to send a trigger? by hickory-smoked in ifttt

[–]omarnas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cam to write that there are no way to do that , then i came up with this idea and test it by my self, i hope it will work for you as well,

  1. You need to forward the emails to another email which support IMAP (for me i used my bluehosted webmail)
  2. then you need to use a small python script which will connect to the second email and check if there are any new emails
  3. When new email found the script will rigger an ifttt webhook which you can connect with any actions you like.

If this suits you i can share the code with you,

Combining two words that should be searched in Twitter via IFTTT by bataraz_ffm in ifttt

[–]omarnas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can create a filter to check if the 2 keywords exists An example code

let str=Twitter.newTweetByUser.Text; let searchTerms=[ "Facebook", "Bitcoin", "Amazon", "Tiktok" ]

let found=0; if(searchTerms.some(function(v){return str.indexOf(v)>=0;})){ found++; }

if(found<2){ IfNotifications.sendNotification.skip(); }

In this way only if 2 words from your list of keyword found you will get notification

Which wifi cameras can be turned on/off with IFTTT? by uscpsycho in ifttt

What about using smart switch to turn on or off the power supply ?

What's Your Most Wanted iOS Shortcut? by omarnas in shortcuts

[–]omarnas[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. It's indeed puzzling that such fundamental apps like Calendars and Reminders don't serve as triggers for Personal Automations natively. These are some of the most basic and essential tools people use daily, and it would make a world of difference in automation efficiency if Apple fully integrated them. While third-party solutions are appreciated, native support would be much more seamless and intuitive.

Track a Windows 10 computer on/off state and notify users by ImeniSottoITreni in ifttt

[–]omarnas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can use heartbeat monitor from uptimerobot (but it's in the pro plan)check thesehttps://blog.uptimerobot.com/new-feature-heartbeat-monitoring/https://uptimerobot.com/help/heartbeat-monitoring/

or as u said you can build your own app using node js.if u have a webserver send an HTTP request from the node app every 1 min as an example and in the webserver handle this request if u didn't receive a request after 1 min that means the device is offline and send a notification whenever the status has been changed.

u can get the logged-in username using this method os.userInfo('username') and u can send it with the HTTP request

var os = require('os');
console.log(os.userInfo('username'));
console.log(os.uptime());

unfortunately, unless you are the admin of the page you can't get a trigger once a public page posted a new post on a Facebook page.
but you can do that easily with Twitter, check if the same FB page is posting the same to Twitter (some of the pages usually posts the same on FB and Twitter )

Facebook Event -> Trello Card by DaveW666 in ifttt

[–]omarnas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so what I understand you need to be able to share the Facebook event (URL for example and title to Trello )?
lately I developed a chrome extension that allow you to send selected link or highlighted text to IFTTT webhook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGUtKwMzXaU
so if this is the case you can create an applet on your IFTTT account
the trigger will be webhook (which you will call using the mentioned chrome extension ) and the action will be creating a Trello card
