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 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
  },
})
