Overview of Bitly#

The Bitly API enables you to programmatically shorten URLs, track click rates, and manage link performance metrics. By integrating Bitly with Pipedream, you can automate various tasks around link management and amalgamate Bitly’s capabilities with other services, thereby streamlining digital marketing efforts, enhancing social media strategies, and monitoring engagement through data-driven insights.

Connect Bitly#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    bitly: {
      type: "app",
      app: "bitly",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.bitly.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

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.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
