Browserless is a service that allows you to run headless Chrome instances in the cloud.
Emit new event when you add or modify a new row in a table. See the docs here
Emit new event when new rows are returned from a custom query. See the docs here
Emit new event when a new table is added to a database. See the docs here
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 MySQL application on Pipedream enables direct interaction with your MySQL databases, allowing you to perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, delete—on your data with ease. You can leverage these capabilities to automate data synchronization, report generation, and event-based triggers that kick off workflows in other apps. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect MySQL to hundreds of other services without managing infrastructure, crafting complex code, or handling authentication.
import mysql from '@pipedream/mysql';
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mysql,
},
async run({steps, $}) {
// Component source code:
// https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/tree/master/components/mysql
const queryObj = {
sql: "SELECT NOW()",
values: [], // Ignored since query does not contain placeholders
};
return await this.mysql.executeQuery(queryObj);
},
});
