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 Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
