Solcast
Solar resource assessment and forecasting data for irradiance and PV power, globally.
Integrate the Solcast API with the HTTP / Webhook API
Setup the Solcast API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the HTTP / Webhook API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Solcast and HTTP / Webhook remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Popular Solcast and HTTP / Webhook Triggers#
Get a URL and emit the full HTTP event on every request (including headers and query parameters). You can also configure the HTTP response code, body, and more.
Get a URL and emit the HTTP body as an event on every request
Emit new event when the content of the URL changes.
Popular Solcast and HTTP / Webhook Actions#
Send an HTTP request using any method and URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers, and basic auth.
Send an HTTP GET request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.
Send an HTTP POST request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.
Send an HTTP PUT request to any URL. Optionally configure query string parameters, headers and basic auth.
Use with an HTTP trigger that uses "Return a custom response from your workflow" as its HTTP Response
Overview of Solcast#
The Solcast API offers solar energy forecasting and historical solar data, enabling developers to integrate accurate solar radiation, PV power output, and weather data into their applications. With the Solcast API on Pipedream, you can automate data retrieval for solar project planning, performance monitoring, and energy system integration. Pipedream's serverless platform means you can set up workflows that respond to various triggers to process and act on Solcast data in real-time, without managing infrastructure.
Connect Solcast#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
solcast: {
type: "app",
app: "solcast",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.solcast.com.au/data/forecast/radiation_and_weather`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.solcast.$auth.api_key}`,
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
params: {
latitude: `-33.856784`,
longitude: `151.215297`,
output_parameters: `air_temp,dni,ghi`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of HTTP / Webhook#
Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.
Point and click HTTP requests
Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.
Focus on integrating, not authenticating
This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.
Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.
Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python
The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.
Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.
Connect HTTP / Webhook#
// To use any npm package on Pipedream, just import it
import axios from "axios"
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const { data } = await axios({
method: "GET",
url: "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/charizard",
})
return data.species
},
})
