Overview of Vestaboard#

The Vestaboard API allows you to control a networked, mechanical split-flap display, enabling you to automate the content it shows. By integrating with Pipedream, you can develop serverless workflows that respond to various triggers (like incoming webhooks, emails, or scheduled timers) and push updates to your Vestaboard. You can dynamically display information such as meeting reminders, real-time performance metrics, or custom messages based on events from other apps and services.

Connect Vestaboard#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    vestaboard: {
      type: "app",
      app: "vestaboard",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://platform.vestaboard.com/viewer`,
      headers: {
        "X-Vestaboard-Api-Key": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_key}`,
        "X-Vestaboard-Api-Secret": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_secret}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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}}
