with IP2Location.io and Delay?
Retrieve geolocation data about an IP Address. See the docs here
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The IP2Location.io API enables you to identify a user's geographical location based on their IP address. With it, you can fetch details like country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, ISP, domain, and more. On Pipedream, this becomes a powerful tool to enrich event data, customize user experiences based on location, or even detect suspicious activities by comparing known user locations to new, anomalous ones. Since Pipedream can connect to countless APIs, you can automate processes that depend on geolocation information, triggering actions across different services.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ip2location_io: {
type: "app",
app: "ip2location_io",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ip2location.io/`,
params: {
key: `${this.ip2location_io.$auth.api_key}`,
ip: `{{your_ip_address}}`,
},
})
},
})
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.
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
// Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
return $.flow.delay(5000)
},
})
