The Pikaso API lets you capture and customize screenshots of tweets with defined styles, sizes, and themes. Harness this power within Pipedream to automate the process of capturing tweet images for reporting, archiving, or sharing across various platforms. Think of it as a bridge between Twitter's textual content and visually-oriented platforms or documents.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
pikaso: {
type: "app",
app: "pikaso",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://pikaso.me/api/v1/me`,
auth: {
username: `${this.pikaso.$auth.token}`,
password: `${this.pikaso.$auth.token_secret}`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Tweet Reporting: Set up a Pipedream workflow that listens for tweets from specific accounts or containing certain hashtags using Twitter's API. Whenever a relevant tweet appears, the workflow triggers the Pikaso API to capture a screenshot and then sends that image to a Google Drive folder for organized reporting.
Social Media Management: Incorporate Pikaso into a Pipedream workflow that helps manage your social media. After crafting and posting a tweet, use Pikaso to capture the tweet's image. Then, programmatically post the screenshot to other social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook, repurposing content across channels.
Tweet Archive Building: Create an automated archival system on Pipedream where every tweet from your company's Twitter account is captured by Pikaso and then stored in Airtable or a similar database. This can serve as a visual archive for reference, marketing materials, or compliance purposes.
With the Pikaso API you can automate creating screenshots from tweets. See the docs for more information
Pikaso uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Pikaso account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Pikaso APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Pikaso requires a token and token secret to authenticate API requests. To retrieve these tokens:
