Easy Web Scraping for Anyone. No code is the best code. Octoparse allows everyone to build reliable web scrapers they need - no coding needed.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
The Octoparse API allows you to automate the extraction of web data without coding, making it a powerful tool for data-driven workflows. With this API, you can control your scraping tasks, retrieve extracted data, and manage your account programmatically. When combined with Pipedream's serverless execution environment, you can build custom workflows to process, store, or act upon the data fetched by Octoparse. This integration can be a cornerstone for solutions in market research, competitor analysis, price monitoring, or lead generation.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
octoparse: {
type: "app",
app: "octoparse",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://openapi.octoparse.com/taskGroup`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.octoparse.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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:
// 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
},
})
