I do not have pdf on cloud, I want to store it in pipedream

Yes, you can store a PDF in Pipedream. Pipedream provides a built-in storage feature called “Pipedream Files” that allows you to store files, including PDFs, in your Pipedream account. You can use the Pipedream API to upload and manage files. Here’s an example of how you can upload a PDF file to Pipedream Files using Node.js code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ async run() { const fileUrl = "https://example.com/path/to/pdf.pdf"; // URL of the PDF file you want to upload const response = await axios(this, { method: "POST", url: "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/files", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PIPEDREAM_API_KEY}`, }, data: { url: fileUrl, }, }); const fileId = response.data.id; // The ID of the uploaded file return fileId; }, }); In this example, you need to replace "https://example.com/path/to/pdf.pdf" with the actual URL of the PDF file you want to upload. The code makes a POST request to the Pipedream Files API endpoint (https://api.pipedream.com/v1/files) with the url parameter set to the PDF file URL. The response will contain the ID of the uploaded file, which you can use to reference the file later. Please note that you need to have a Pipedream API key to make this request. You can find your API key in your Pipedream account settings. Make sure to replace process.env.PIPEDREAM_API_KEY with your actual API key. Let me know if you need any further assistance!

You can refer to the Pipedream API documentation or the specific API documentation for the service you’re integrating with to find the correct endpoint. If you’re still experiencing issues, please provide more details about the specific API or service you’re trying to upload the file to, and any relevant code or error messages you’re encountering.

I built a Pipedream workflow to temporarily upload a file to their storage and return a unique URL for using in these types of scenarios, I can share the workflow with you later. You just send the file as a POST request to the workflow which responds with the URL so you can use it in a future step for uploading
Here’s a component for getting the file URL (just passing it a path to a file in /tmp.
thank you! I was not sure if I can access fs in pipedream node.js module, but if that’s the case, it would make my life so much easier
