Shipcloud is the shipping service provider and represents a new generation in package shipping. A cloud-based service, it enables small and medium-sized online vendors to work easily and efficiently with all major shipping providers.
Shipcloud is a shipping service provider API that streamlines parcel shipping processes for businesses of all sizes. With Shipcloud, you can access multiple carriers, compare shipping rates, create shipping labels, track parcels, and handle returns within a single interface. Utilizing this API on Pipedream enables automation of shipping workflows, leading to efficient and scalable logistics operations.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
shipcloud: {
type: "app",
app: "shipcloud",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.shipcloud.io/v1/me`,
auth: {
username: `${this.shipcloud.$auth.api_key}`,
password: ``,
},
})
},
})
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)
},
})
