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 Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
