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 Twilio SendGrid API opens up a world of possibilities for email automation, enabling you to send emails efficiently and track their performance. With this API, you can programmatically create and send personalized email campaigns, manage contacts, and parse inbound emails for data extraction. When you harness the power of Pipedream, you can connect SendGrid to hundreds of other apps to automate workflows, such as triggering email notifications based on specific actions, syncing email stats with your analytics, or handling incoming emails to create tasks or tickets.
