Website change detection, monitoring and alerting
VisualPing is a tool that lets you monitor web pages for changes. Using its API with Pipedream, you can automate reactions to those changes. For instance, you can set up workflows that notify you or your team when specific parts of a web page update, or use changes to trigger downstream actions in other apps. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to connect VisualPing with a vast array of apps to create custom, automated workflows without writing a lot of code.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
visualping: {
type: "app",
app: "visualping",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://account.api.visualping.io/describe-user`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.visualping.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
swapi: {
type: "app",
app: "swapi",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/1/`,
})
},
