How can I use a Node.js step to fetch a specific user in WordPress?

2

To fetch a specific user in WordPress using a Node.js step, you’ll need to make an HTTP request to the WordPress REST API. You can use the axios from the @pipedream/platform package to make the request. Here’s an example component that fetches a user by their ID: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { userId: { type: "integer", label: "User ID", description: "The ID of the user you want to fetch from WordPress", }, wordpressUrl: { type: "string", label: "WordPress URL", description: "The base URL of your WordPress site (e.g., https://example.com)", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const response = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: `${this.wordpressUrl}/wp-json/wp/v2/users/${this.userId}`, }); return response; }, }); Replace userId and wordpressUrl with the appropriate values for your WordPress site. This component will fetch the user with the specified ID and return the user data.

I need to search by email

To search for a WordPress user by email, you can modify the previous example to use the search parameter in the API request. Here’s an updated component that searches for a user by their email address: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { email: { type: "string", label: "Email", description: "The email address of the user you want to fetch from WordPress", }, wordpressUrl: { type: "string", label: "WordPress URL", description: "The base URL of your WordPress site (e.g., https://example.com)", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const response = await axios($, { method: "GET", url: `${this.wordpressUrl}/wp-json/wp/v2/users`, params: { search: this.email, }, }); // Check if a user is found with the provided email if (response.length > 0) { return response[0]; // Return the first user found with the email } else { return "No user found with the provided email"; } }, }); Replace email and wordpressUrl with the appropriate values for your WordPress site. This component will search for the user with the specified email and return the user data if found.
