Overview of Free Dictionary#

The Free Dictionary API provides a straightforward way to access dictionary definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and translations for words in multiple languages. With it, you can fetch detailed word meanings, usage examples, and phonetic transcriptions, enabling a variety of educational and linguistic automation opportunities on Pipedream. This API is valuable for developers looking to create language learning tools, content enrichment services, or to simply integrate rich lexical data into their applications.

Connect Free Dictionary#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    dictionary_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "dictionary_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/<word>`,
    })
  },
})

Overview of Filter#

The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.

Connect Filter#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    let condition = false
    if (condition == false) {
      $.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
    } else {
        $.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
    }
  },
})
