Automate anything with Abstract APIs
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Abstract - IP Geolocation API allows you to identify the geographical location of IP addresses, providing data such as country, city, timezone, and latitude/longitude. This capability can enrich user data for analytics, customize content based on location, and enhance security by detecting unusual access patterns. When integrated with Pipedream, you can automate actions based on geolocation insights, triggering workflows that react to user locations in real-time.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
abstract_ip_geo: {
type: "app",
app: "abstract_ip_geo",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://ipgeolocation.abstractapi.com/v1/?api_key=${this.abstract_ip_geo.$auth.api_key}&ip_address=75.111.82.152`,
})
},
})
The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
// Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
return $.flow.delay(5000)
},
})
