how to save files to the file store?
To save files in Pipedream, you can use the /tmp directory, which is the only writable directory available in Pipedream workflows. Here’s an example of how you might write a file to the /tmp directory using Node.js: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); // Define the path to the file in the /tmp directory const filePath = path.join('/tmp', 'your-filename.txt'); // Write data to the file fs.writeFileSync(filePath, 'Your file content here', 'utf8'); // Return the path to the file return filePath; }, }); In this example, replace 'your-filename.txt' with the desired file name and 'Your file content here' with the content you want to save to the file. This will write the file to the /tmp directory, and you can then use this file within your workflow or send it in an HTTP request.
what’s the best way to have Authorization in the following code:
const response = await axios($, {
method: “POST”,
url: https://api.pipedream.com/v1/files,
headers: {
// Authorization: Bearer ${this.$auth.api_key},
“Content-Type”: “application/octet-stream”,
},
data: fs.createReadStream(“/tmp/output.pdf”),
});
To include the Authorization header in your axios request, you should uncomment the Authorization line and use the appropriate token or API key that is required for the API you’re calling. Here’s the modified code with the Authorization header included: const response = await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/files", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.$auth.api_key}`, "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream", }, data: fs.createReadStream("/tmp/output.pdf"), }); Make sure to replace ${this.$auth.api_key} with the actual API key provided by the service you’re authenticating with. If you’re using Pipedream’s integrated apps, the this.$auth.api_key placeholder will automatically be replaced with the correct token when you connect your account.

where do i find the api key?
To authenticate to the Pipedream REST API and obtain your API key, you’ll need to create an API key within your Pipedream account. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Go to the Pipedream API keys page. 2. Click on the “New+” button to create a new API key. 3. Give your API key a name that helps you remember what you’re using it for. 4. Once created, you’ll see the API key. You can copy this key and use it to authenticate your API requests. Remember to keep your API key secure, as it provides access to your Pipedream account. Here’s an example of how you would use the API key in a curl request: shell curl 'https://api.pipedream.com/v1/files' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>' Replace <api_key> with the API key you obtained from the Pipedream API keys page.
