Browserless is a service that allows you to run headless Chrome instances in the cloud.
The Browserless API on Pipedream allows you to automate browser actions without the overhead of managing your own browser infrastructure. This service provides a way to run Chrome browser sessions programmatically, making it ideal for web scraping, automated testing, and screenshot capture. Leveraging this on Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that interact with web pages, extract data, and perform actions as a human would, all in a scalable and efficient manner.
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-core@14.1.0';
export default defineComponent({
props: {
browserless: {
type: "app",
app: "browserless",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// See the browserless docs for more info:
// https://www.browserless.io/docs/
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: `wss://chrome.browserless.io?token=${this.browserless.$auth.api_key}`
})
const page = await browser.newPage()
const url = "https://example.com"
const type = "png"
await page.goto(url)
const screenshot = await page.screenshot()
// export the base64-encoded screenshot for use in future steps,
// along with the image type and filename
$.export("screenshot", Buffer.from(screenshot, 'binary').toString('base64'))
$.export("type", type)
$.export("filename",`${url.replace(/[&\/\\#, +()$~%.'":*?<>{}]/g, '_')}-${+new Date()}.${type}`)
await browser.close()
},
})
The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.
import mongodb from 'mongodb'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mongodb: {
type: "app",
app: "mongodb",
},
collection: {
type: "string"
},
filter: {
type: "object"
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
const {
database,
hostname,
username,
password,
} = this.mongodb.$auth
const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
})
const db = client.db(database)
const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
$.export('results', results);
await client.close()
},
})
