Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

WebScraper.IO Overview#

The WebScraper.IO API allows you to programmatically perform web scraping tasks, extracting structured data from websites. With the API, you can automate the gathering of web content for analysis, monitoring, and integration with other data sources. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to build workflows that process, analyze, and act on the data you scrape without writing code for backend infrastructure.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
WebScraper.IO	`webscraper`	`app`	This component uses the WebScraper.IO app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

WebScraper.IO uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your WebScraper.IO account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to WebScraper.IO APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Hookdeck Overview#

The Hookdeck API facilitates the management of webhooks, providing reliable webhook delivery, monitoring, and debugging solutions. With this API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows concerning incoming webhook data—transforming, routing, and ensuring they trigger the subsequent actions without fail. This could range from logging data for analysis, conditionally processing and forwarding webhook events to other endpoints, or integrating with third-party services for extended automation.
