Overview of HTML/CSS to Image#

The HTML/CSS to Image API lets you programmatically create images from HTML and CSS, which is perfect for generating custom graphics, charts, or even to convert web content for sharing on social media. On Pipedream, you can harness this API within a serverless workflow, triggering image generation from various events, managing the data flow, and integrating with countless other apps to create powerful automations.

Connect HTML/CSS to Image#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    html_css_to_image: {
      type: "app",
      app: "html_css_to_image",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {
      "url": `https://google.com`,
    }
    return await axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://hcti.io/v1/image`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.html_css_to_image.$auth.user_id}`,
        password: `${this.html_css_to_image.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
      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)
  },
})
