Overview of Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow)#
The Stack Exchange API provides programmatic access to Stack Overflow and other sites on the Stack Exchange network. With this API, you can fetch questions, answers, comments, user profiles, and other data that enables you to integrate Stack Exchange's wealth of knowledge and community activities into your own applications. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create custom workflows that react to events on Stack Exchange, compile reports, or even automate interactions, providing a powerful tool for developers, data analysts, and content creators.
Connect Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow)#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
stack_exchange: {
type: "app",
app: "stack_exchange",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.stack_exchange.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
params: {
site: `stackoverflow`,
access_token: `${this.stack_exchange.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
key: `qM6Y7e57HJiAO3V7pHSbLw((`,
},
})
},
})
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
},
})
