Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of Unsplash#

The Unsplash API provides programmatic access to a vast library of high-quality, royalty-free images. This enables developers to search for and retrieve photos based on keywords, collections, or featured content. With Pipedream's integration, you can automate tasks like updating social media banners, populating website content with dynamic images, or even analyzing photo metadata for insights. By leveraging Unsplash's API within Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events, process image data, and interact with countless other apps available on the platform, streamlining your digital asset management and content creation processes.

Connect Unsplash#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    unsplash: {
      type: "app",
      app: "unsplash",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.unsplash.com/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.unsplash.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
