Overview of Humor API#

The Humor API is a tool that offers a variety of endpoints to add some laughter to your applications. Integrated into Pipedream, you can harness this API to create custom workflows that trigger actions across various services, responding to events with a light-hearted touch. Use cases may include sending jokes as icebreakers in emails, posting humorous content to social media, or integrating fun prompts into chatbots.

Connect Humor API#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    humor_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "humor_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.humorapi.com/memes/search`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      params: {
        keywords: `{your_keywords}`,
        "api-key": `${this.humor_api.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

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
  },
})

A Look at Pipedream

I'm going to build a workflow that will search Twitter every hour for a keyword. It will take the results, format them nicely, and then email it.

Building a Traffic-Based Workflow in Pipedream

Normally I don't like to blog about stuff that isn't generally available to all, but as it will be available sometime soon, I decided to go ahead anyway. And I built something really cool I want to share so that's another reason to talk about this now!
