with Zyte API and Filter?
The Zyte API provides programmatic access to web data extraction services, allowing you to pull structured data from websites efficiently. Within Pipedream, you can leverage the Zyte API to create powerful serverless workflows that automate data collection, monitor web content changes, or enrich your datasets with web-sourced information. By connecting Zyte to other apps on Pipedream, you can easily integrate web scraping into your data processing pipelines, event-driven applications, and more, with minimal setup and no server maintenance.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
zyte_api: {
type: "app",
app: "zyte_api",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const data = {
"url": "https://books.toscrape.com/",
"httpResponseBody": true
}
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract`,
headers: {
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},

},
})
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
})
