Overview of Diffbot#
The Diffbot API enables you to extract structured data from web pages automatically. It transforms the chaos of the web into usable information through web scraping and natural language processing. On Pipedream, you can use Diffbot to monitor changes on websites, extract article data, or process web pages for specific information. By tapping into Pipedream’s ability to integrate with hundreds of other services, you can create powerful workflows that automate data extraction and act on the data in real-time.
Connect Diffbot#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
diffbot: {
type: "app",
app: "diffbot",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.diffbot.com/v4/account`,
headers: {
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
params: {
token: `${this.diffbot.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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!
