Integrate the TinyPNG API with the Node API

TinyPNG

TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your PNG files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the image, fewer bytes are required to store the data. The effect is nearly invisible but it makes a very large difference in file size! Join over 50.000 companies and developers around the world who are using the API.

Setup the TinyPNG API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate TinyPNG and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of TinyPNG#

The TinyPNG API lets you compress and optimize image files efficiently. With this API, you can shrink the size of PNG and JPEG files without a noticeable loss in quality, making it a crucial tool for improving website load times and saving bandwidth. On Pipedream, you can automate image optimization workflows, harnessing the power of TinyPNG to process batches of images, integrate with CMS platforms, trigger optimizations from various events, and more.

Connect TinyPNG#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    tinypng: {
      type: "app",
      app: "tinypng",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const results = await require("@pipedream/platform").axios($, {
      method: "post",
      url: `https://api.tinify.com/shrink`,
      auth: {
        username: `api:${this.tinypng.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: ``,
      },
      data: {
        "source": {
          "url": "https://tinypng.com/images/panda-happy.png"
        }
      },
    })

    const retVal = results.output
    retVal.original_image_metadata = results.input 
    return retVal
  },
})

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
  },
})
