The best new products in tech
Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).
The Product Hunt API taps into a vibrant community of tech enthusiasts and makers, allowing you to interact with their platform programmatically. With it, you can retrieve details on the latest trending products, post comments, and gather user data. Automating these interactions can keep you informed on tech trends, engage with the community, and analyze market interests.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
product_hunt: {
type: "app",
app: "product_hunt",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"query": `{
viewer {
user {
id
username
}
}
}`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.producthunt.com/v2/api/graphql`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.product_hunt.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
data,
})
},
})
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)
},
})
