The Diffchecker API allows you to compare differences between texts, images, PDFs, and other files programmatically, providing an automated way to spot changes or inconsistencies. Leveraging this API within Pipedream workflows can automate diff tasks, alerting you to changes, syncing content across platforms, or maintaining consistency in code or document versions. Pipedream's ability to connect to various services and trigger workflows based on numerous events makes it an excellent tool for integrating Diffchecker in a variety of scenarios.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
diffchecker: {
type: "app",
app: "diffchecker",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"left": `roses are red violets are blue`,
"right": `roses are green violets are purple`,
"diff_level": `word`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://${this.diffchecker.$auth.environment}.diffchecker.com/public/text`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
params: {
output_type: `json`,
email: `${this.diffchecker.$auth.email}`,
},
data,
})
},
})
Automated Content Change Detection: When content on a website changes, the Diffchecker API can compare the new content with a stored version. If differences are detected, the Pipedream workflow can send notifications via email, Slack, or other messaging platforms to relevant stakeholders.
Code Review Automation: After a push to a Git repository, a Pipedream workflow can trigger a Diffchecker API call to compare the new commit against the main branch. The output can be used for automated code reviews, sending summary diff reports to project managers, or flagging potential issues to developers via GitHub issues or JIRA.
Periodic Backup Integrity Checks: Regularly compare backups with their previous versions using the Diffchecker API within a Pipedream schedule. This can help verify the integrity of the backups and provide peace of mind that critical data hasn't been altered or corrupted. Notifications or logs can be managed via Pipedream's built-in services or sent to external databases or logging services.

Diffchecker uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Diffchecker account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Diffchecker APIs in both code and no-code steps.
