Popular Solcast and Node Actions#
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
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 Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
