Overview of Azure AI Vision#

The Azure AI Vision API provides powerful image analysis capabilities, enabling you to extract information and insights from your visual data. With this API, you can perform tasks like image classification, object detection, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to recognize text within images. Leveraging Pipedream, you can integrate these AI-powered insights into your workflows to create dynamic and automated processes.

Connect Azure AI Vision#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    azure_ai_vision: {
      type: "app",
      app: "azure_ai_vision",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {

      params: {
        "api-version": `2023-02-01-preview`,
        features: `read`, //e.g. read
      },

    })
  },
})

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}}
