Integrate the Linkish API with the Node API

Setup the Linkish API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Linkish and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Linkish#

Linkish is a versatile API that enhances the way you handle web links. It allows you to organize, preview, and optimize web links with features such as URL shortening, web page metadata retrieval, and link previews with screenshots. With Pipedream, you can create powerful automations by connecting Linkish to other services to streamline content sharing, web research, and digital marketing workflows.

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
