The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.
The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
slack: {
type: "app",
app: "slack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
The Scrape-It.Cloud API allows you to automate the extraction of data from websites. It can parse, scrape, and retrieve content without the need for manual intervention. With this API on Pipedream, you can build workflows that trigger on various events and use the scraped data for numerous applications like data analysis, lead generation, and content aggregation.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
scrape_it_cloud: {
type: "app",
app: "scrape_it_cloud",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"url": `https://pipedream.com`,
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.scrape-it.cloud/scrape`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
"x-api-key": `${this.scrape_it_cloud.$auth.api_key}`,
},
data,
})
},
})
