Apify
Apify is the place to find, develop, buy and run cloud programs called actors. Use actors to turn any website into an API.
Integrate the Apify API with the Python API
Setup the Apify API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Python API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Apify and Python remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Apify and Python Actions#
Write Python and use any of the 350k+ PyPi packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Python docs to learn more.
Overview of Apify#
The Apify API unleashes the power to automate web scraping, process data, and orchestrate web automation workflows. By utilizing Apify on Pipedream, you can create dynamic serverless workflows to manage tasks like extracting data from websites, running browser automation, and scheduling these jobs to run autonomously. It integrates smoothly with Pipedream's capabilities to trigger actions on various other apps, store the results, and manage complex data flow with minimal setup.
Connect Apify#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
apify: {
type: "app",
app: "apify",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.apify.com/v2/users/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.apify.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Python#
Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.
This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.
Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Python#
def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
# Reference data from previous steps
print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
# Return data for use in future steps
return {"foo": {"test":True}}
