The best and easiest HTML-to-PDF API
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
DocRaptor is an API that converts HTML to PDF or XLS(X). Using DocRaptor with Pipedream allows you to automate document generation within your custom workflows. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger document creation from a multitude of events, process the data, and integrate it with countless apps to create dynamic, on-demand documents. Whether you need to generate invoices, reports, or any other documents, you can set up a pipeline that does the heavy lifting for you.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
docraptor: {
type: "app",
app: "docraptor",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"type": `pdf`,
"document_content": `<html><body>Hello World!</body></html>`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.docraptor.com/docs`,
auth: {
username: `${this.docraptor.$auth.api_key}`,
password: ``,
},
data,
})
},
})
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)
},
})
