Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of PokéAPI#

The PokéAPI API offers a treasure trove of data for Pokémon enthusiasts, providing detailed information on Pokémon species, abilities, moves, and much more. Leveraging this API within Pipedream allows you to craft creative automations that can engage fans, enhance gaming experiences, and organize Pokémon data efficiently. With the serverless platform that Pipedream provides, you can set up event-driven workflows, connect to a myriad of other services, and automate tasks that respond in real-time to changes in the PokéAPI data.

Connect PokéAPI#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    pokeapi: {
      type: "app",
      app: "pokeapi",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/ditto`,
    })
  },
})

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)
  },
})
