Overview of Congress.gov#
The Congress.gov API opens the door to a repository of legislative information from the United States Congress. With this API, you can access details on bills, amendments, congressional records, and members' profiles. Integrating this API with Pipedream allows you to automatically track legislative developments, analyze policymaking trends, and stay informed on the activities of specific members of Congress. By creating workflows on Pipedream, you can connect Congress.gov data with numerous apps to streamline political data analysis, advocacy efforts, or journalistic research.
Connect Congress.gov#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
congress_gov: {
type: "app",
app: "congress_gov",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.congress.gov/v3/bill`,
params: {
format: `json`,
api_key: `${this.congress_gov.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Slack#
The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.
The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.
- Automate posting updates to your team channels
- Create a bot to answer common questions
- Integrate with your existing tools and services
- And much more!
Connect Slack#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({

type: "app",
app: "slack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
