Free Stock APIs in JSON & Excel
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Alpha Vantage API offers access to a wealth of financial data, including real-time and historical stock prices, forex rates, cryptocurrency data, and more. With Pipedream’s serverless platform, you can easily connect Alpha Vantage to a variety of other services and apps to create powerful financial data workflows. Automate the tracking of stock performance, set up alerts for forex rate changes, digest cryptocurrency trends, or integrate financial data into custom dashboards or databases without the need to manage complex infrastructure.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
alpha_vantage: {
type: "app",
app: "alpha_vantage",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://www.alphavantage.co/query?`,
params: {
function: `GLOBAL_QUOTE`,
symbol: `MSFT`,
apikey: `${this.alpha_vantage.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
