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 Rat Genome Database#

The Rat Genome Database (RGD) API provides access to a wealth of genetic and genomic data related to rats, a key model organism in medical research. Via this API, researchers can query for gene information, phenotypic data, and genomic sequences, creating a treasure trove for geneticists, bioinformaticians, and medical researchers seeking to understand disease pathways and potential treatments. On Pipedream, this can be leveraged to automate data retrieval, sync genetic information with other databases, or trigger workflows based on specific genomic updates or criteria.

Connect Rat Genome Database#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    rat_genome_database: {
      type: "app",
      app: "rat_genome_database",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://rest.rgd.mcw.edu/rgdws/lookup/geneTypes`,
      headers: {
        "Accept": `*/*`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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)
  },
})
