Run Python compute workloads anywhere, with only a predict function.
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Function API allows you to run code snippets in various programming languages directly through API calls. This capability can extend Pipedream workflows by enabling custom logic processing, data transformation, or any operation that requires server-side code execution without deploying or managing servers. By using the Function API, you can incorporate code that's beyond the native actions available within Pipedream, offering a flexible and powerful way to handle complex tasks in your automations.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
function: {
type: "app",
app: "function",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.fxn.ai/user`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.function.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
