Playwright
Playwright enables reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps.
Integrate the Playwright API with the HTTP / Webhook API
Setup the Playwright API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the HTTP / Webhook API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Playwright and HTTP / Webhook remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Popular Ways to Connect Playwright with HTTP / Webhook#
Popular Playwright and HTTP / Webhook Triggers#
Get a URL and emit the full HTTP event on every request (including headers and query parameters). You can also configure the HTTP response code, body, and more.
Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request
Emit new event when the content of the URL changes.
Popular Playwright and HTTP / Webhook Actions#
Generates a pdf of the page and store it on /tmp directory. See the documentation
Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.
Store a new screenshot file on /tmp directory. See the documentation
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 HTTP / Webhook#
Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.
Point and click HTTP requests
Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.
Focus on integrating, not authenticating
This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.
Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.
Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python
The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.
Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.
Connect HTTP / Webhook#
// To use any npm package on Pipedream, just import it
import axios from "axios"
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const { data } = await axios({
method: "GET",
url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/charizard",
})
return data.species
},
})
