Hey all - I’m trying to make a call to an api but I’m getting this error Invalid IP Address!
I’m pretty sure this means I need to send a Pipedream IP address to the api team I’m working with. In my search for a Pipedream IP address I camw across this - https://radar.cloudflare.com/domains/domain/pipedream.com

  1. Are these IP addresses correct?
  2. If they are - Does anyone know if I should send a specific IP address or the whole list?
  3. If not - Does anyone know where I can find the correct IP address(es)?

Pipedream’s outbound traffic can be on a wide range of AWS IP addresses.

Can you help me better understand what you’re trying to do? Are you receiving this error when attempting to trigger a workflow, or when making the request from your workflow to an external API?

I see. If you need your workflow’s requests to originate from static IP addresses, this is offered by Pipedream’s VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds).

The alternative depends on the API you’re attempting to communicate with - for instance, if they allow some form of authentication instead of blocking requests from unknown IP addresses.
