Hello, is there an api to make automations on pipedream without being on the platform itself?
Yes, Pipedream provides an API that allows you to manage resources like workflows, sources, and destinations programmatically. This means you can create, read, update, and delete these resources using the API, without having to manually operate within the Pipedream UI. However, please note that while you can manage workflows and other resources via the API, the execution of workflows (i.e., the actual running of the automations) happens within the Pipedream platform. You can find more details about the Pipedream API in the API documentation.
this answer isn’t fully correct. We have a REST API for managing large parts of the system, but today you can’t programmatically manage workflows. That is on our backlog.
Can you tell me more about exactly what you’re looking to do and I can point you in the right direction?
I just want to use it to create workflows without actually opening the platform on the front-end, the actual execution of the automations ill do from the platform.
Got it, thanks. That isn’t fully-supported yet but we’re tracking here if you’d like to follow / add details about your use case!
What does not fully supported mean? is there some stuff that can be already done through an api?
Take a look at https://pipedream.com/docs/api/rest/
I did before i arrived here 
couldnt find what is possible, could you clarify please?
We don’t support an API endpoint for creating workflows
