Integrate the GeoDB Cities API with the Delay API

Setup the GeoDB Cities API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Delay API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate GeoDB Cities and Delay remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of GeoDB Cities#

The GeoDB Cities API lets you tap into a rich dataset of worldwide cities, their attributes, and related data. On Pipedream, you can use this API to create workflows that automate location-based tasks, enrich data with geographical context, or power apps with location intelligence. For instance, you could trigger a workflow whenever a new city is added to a database, gather demographic information based on city names, or even integrate with travel platforms to plan itineraries.

Connect GeoDB Cities#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    geodb_cities: {
      type: "app",
      app: "geodb_cities",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "query": `{country(id:"US"){name region(code:"CA"){name populatedPlaces(first:10){totalCount pageInfo{startCursor endCursor hasNextPage}edges{node{name}}}}}}`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `http://geodb-free-service.wirefreethought.com/graphql`,
      headers: {
        "x-rapidapi-key": `${this.geodb_cities.$auth.api_key}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      data,
    })
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

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.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
