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.
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}`,
},
})
},
})
The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
