Overview of Shotstack

The Shotstack API is a video editing platform that allows you to automate the creation and production of videos. With it, you can edit clips, add transitions, overlays, and backgrounds, and even include music in your videos. Integrating Shotstack with Pipedream can supercharge your workflow by automating the video creation process. You can trigger video edits in response to various events, manage assets, or even kick off rendering jobs based on data from other apps and services.

Overview of Python

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
