Trigger workflows on an interval or cron schedule.
Extract data from a specified URL See the docs here
The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.
The Automatic Data Extraction API by Zyte specializes in extracting structured data from web pages. When incorporated into Pipedream workflows, this API allows you to automate the process of gathering web data, which can feed into various tasks such as market research, price monitoring, or even lead generation. By triggering workflows with new data inputs, processing and storing the extracted data, and connecting to other apps, Pipedream amplifies the API's utility.
