Simple and powerful web scraping API with automated proxies rotation and Chrome JS rendering
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
WebScraping.AI API provides powerful tools for extracting data from websites, enabling users to retrieve structured information without the hassle of setting up a custom scraper. It handles proxy rotation, browsers, and CAPTCHAs, allowing you to focus on data collection. With Pipedream, you can harness this capability to create automated workflows that trigger on various events, process web content, and connect with countless other apps to feed data pipelines, monitor changes, or populate databases.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
webscraping_ai: {
type: "app",
app: "webscraping_ai",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.webscraping.ai/account`,
params: {
api_key: `${this.webscraping_ai.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
