The Placid API lets you automate the creation of visual content such as images and videos. With Pipedream, you can trigger workflows using various events, process data, and use the Placid API to dynamically generate marketing materials, social media graphics, personalized images for email campaigns, and more. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate Placid with other apps to create robust, multi-step automations without writing extensive code.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
placid: {
type: "app",
app: "placid",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.placid.app/api/rest/templates`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.placid.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
