How to get payload using python

Help
1

Hello all,
I am new to pipedream and I ask you to accept my apologies if this is already asked or too basic.
I have written a python code (in jupyter notebook) that interacts with one API. But this one needs to send the payload somewhere (thus on pipedream).
From my python code, I would like to listen to my pipedream webhook and get the payload so that I can continue my flow. I cannot program that right now into pipedream directly since my jupyter notebook has some information and I cannot share them in pipedream.
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi @si-an.chi,

No problem, happy to help! To send data from your Python code to a Pipedream webhook, you can create an HTTP trigger in Pipedream and use the provided webhook URL to send the payload from your Python code.

First, create a new Pipedream workflow and add an HTTP trigger. This will generate a unique webhook URL that you can use to send data to your workflow.

Next, in your Python code, you can use the requests library to send the payload to the webhook URL. Here’s an example:

import requests

webhook_url = "https://your-pipedream-webhook-url"
payload = {"key": "value"}

response = requests.post(webhook_url, json=payload)

Replace https://your-pipedream-webhook-url with the actual webhook URL generated by the HTTP trigger in your Pipedream workflow. This will send the payload to your Pipedream workflow, where you can continue processing the data.

If you need to use the data in a Python code step within Pipedream, you can add a “Run Python Code” action after the HTTP trigger. The data sent to the webhook will be available in the pd.steps.trigger.event variable. For example:

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
    received_data = pd.steps.trigger.event
    # Process the received data here
    return {"processed_data": received_data}

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Thanks but I actually would like to receive the payload that webhook_url received so that I can run the code with the payload outside of pipedream.
