Schedule Overview#

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.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Weekly schedule",
  version: "0.0.1",

  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [

        cron: "0 10 * * 1",
      },
    },
  },
};

OpenGraph.io Overview#

The OpenGraph.io API enables you to fetch Open Graph data from websites, which is useful for previewing content like images, titles, and descriptions the way social platforms do. Integrating OpenGraph.io with Pipedream allows you to automate the retrieval of this data in response to various triggers and to use it in workflows that involve other apps and services.

Action Code#

import opengraph from "../../opengraph_io.app.mjs";
import { ConfigurationError } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "opengraph_io-batch-scrape",
  name: "Batch Scrape",
  description: "Scrape OpenGraph data from a list of URLs at once, to process multiple websites simultaneously. [See the docs here](https://www.opengraph.io/documentation)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    opengraph,
    urls: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "URLs",
      description: "Array of URLs to scrape",
    },
    properties: {
      propDefinition: [
        opengraph,
        "properties",
      ],
      optional: true,
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      urls,
      properties,
    } = this;

    if (!(urls?.length > 0)) {
      throw new ConfigurationError("Must enter at least one URL.");
    }

    const results = [];

    for (const url of urls) {
      const { openGraph } = await this.opengraph.getSiteInfo(url);
      if (properties?.length > 0) {
        const result = {};
        for (const property of properties) {
          result[property] = openGraph[property];
        }
        results.push(result);
        continue;
      }
      results.push(openGraph);
    }

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully scraped ${results.length} site(s).`);

    return results;
  },
};
