Connect Alpaca#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    alpaca: {
      type: "app",
      app: "alpaca",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.alpaca.markets/v2/account`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.alpaca.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
