with Databox and Delay?
The Databox API enables you to create custom dashboards, integrating various data sources to track performance metrics in real-time. With Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate the flow of data between Databox and other applications, creating bespoke monitoring solutions and data-driven workflows that save time and enhance insights.
import Databox from 'databox'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
databox: {
type: "app",
app: "databox",
},
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const client = new Databox({
push_token: `${this.databox.$auth.token}`
})
return await new Promise((resolve) => client.metrics((metrics) => resolve(metrics)))
}
})
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.
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
// Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
return $.flow.delay(5000)
},
})
