Integrate the SSH (key-based auth) API with the Delay API

Setup the SSH (key-based auth) API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Delay API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate SSH (key-based auth) and Delay remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of SSH (key-based auth)#

The SSH (Secure Shell) key-based authentication API allows you to execute commands on a remote server securely. With Pipedream, leverage this capability to automate server management tasks, execute deployment scripts, or gather data from your server infrastructure. By integrating with other apps on Pipedream, you can create seamless workflows that trigger actions on your servers in response to various events.

Connect SSH (key-based auth)#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    ssh: {
      type: "app",
      app: "ssh",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const SSH2Promise = require('ssh2-promise')
    
    const { 
      host, 
      port,
      username, 
      privateKey,
    } = this.ssh.$auth
    
    const ssh = new SSH2Promise({
      host,
      port,
      username,
      privateKey,
    })
    
    await ssh.connect()
    console.log("Connection established")
    
    // Replace this with the command you'd like to run
    const resp = await ssh.exec("whoami")
    console.log(resp)
    
    await ssh.close()
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

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.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
