Popular Ways to Connect Helper Functions with HTTP / Webhook#
Popular Helper Functions and HTTP / Webhook Triggers#
Get a URL and emit the full HTTP event on every request (including headers and query parameters). You can also configure the HTTP response code, body, and more.
Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request
Emit new event when the content of the URL changes.
Popular Helper Functions and HTTP / Webhook Actions#
Accepts a base64-encoded string, returns a decoded UTF-8 string

Overview of Helper Functions#
The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
Overview of HTTP / Webhook#
Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.
Point and click HTTP requests
Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.
Focus on integrating, not authenticating
This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.
Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.
Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python
The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.
Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.
Connect HTTP / Webhook#
// To use any npm package on Pipedream, just import it
import axios from "axios"
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const { data } = await axios({
method: "GET",
url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/charizard",
})
return data.species
},
})
