Website screenshot API
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The ApiFlash API lets you capture website screenshots programmatically. It's a Chrome-based screenshot API for developers, ideal for automating the process of taking snapshots of web pages for archiving, performance monitoring, or visual verification. With Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create event-driven workflows, tapping into vast integration possibilities.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
apiflash: {
type: "app",
app: "apiflash",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.apiflash.com/v1/urltoimage`,
params: {
access_key: `${this.apiflash.$auth.access_key}`,
url: `https://google.com`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
