Overview of Playwright#

Playwright is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Playwright runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.

Using Playwright you can perform tasks including:

Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.

Connect Playwright#

import { playwright } from '@pipedream/browsers';

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const browser = await playwright.launch();
    
    // Interact with the web page programmatically
    // See Playwright's Page documentation for available methods:
    // https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.goto('https://pipedream.com/');
    const title = await page.title();
    const content = await page.content();

    // Close context and browser otherwise the step will hang
    await page.context().close()
    await browser.close();

    return { title, content }
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

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.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
