Popular Goodreads and Delay Actions#
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
Overview of Goodreads#
The Goodreads API allows you to tap into a vast database of books, reviews, and reading data. With it, you can fetch details about books, find similar books, and access user reviews and ratings. On Pipedream, this translates into a wealth of opportunities for automating tasks related to literature discovery, sharing reading experiences, and connecting with fellow readers.

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)
},
})
