Hello- we have not subscribed yet but was reviewing your service. I was wondering if you had the ability to create an actual api with your service? Or would it be just the webhook portion of it? Thanks!
Yes! You can build APIs and issue HTTP responses to callers. can you tell us more about that
Certainly! In Pipedream, you can build APIs and issue HTTP responses using HTTP-triggered workflows. Here’s how you can do it: 1. HTTP Trigger: Start by creating a workflow with an HTTP trigger. This trigger will handle incoming HTTP requests to your API. 2. Custom HTTP Response: You can customize the HTTP response using either: - The Return HTTP response action available on the HTTP / Webhook app. - The $.respond() function in a Code or Action step. 3. Using $.respond(): This function allows you to send a JSON or string response from the HTTP call that triggered the workflow. Here’s an example of how you might use it: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { $.respond({ status: 200, headers: {}, body: { message: “hello world!”, }, }); }, });
