It seems like you’re encountering an error related to accessing the api_key property in your Pipedream component. The error message indicates that the api_key is undefined, which suggests that the SerpApi app’s authentication details might not be correctly set up in your Pipedream component. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Verify API Key Configuration: Ensure that you have correctly configured the SerpApi app in your Pipedream account. You need to provide the API key when setting up the app connection. You can do this by navigating to the “Apps” section in Pipedream, selecting SerpApi, and ensuring that the API key is entered correctly. 2. Check Component Code: Make sure your component code correctly references the API key. Here’s an example of how your component should look: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { serpapi: { type: "app", app: "serpapi", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { url: `https://serpapi.com/account.json`, params: { api_key: `${this.serpapi.$auth.api_key}`, }, }); }, }); Ensure that this.serpapi.$auth.api_key is used to access the API key. 3. Re-authenticate the App: If the API key is still not being recognized, try re-authenticating the SerpApi app in Pipedream. This can often resolve issues where the authentication details are not being correctly passed to the component. 4. Consult Pipedream Support: If you’ve verified the above steps and the issue persists, consider reaching out to Pipedream support for further assistance. You can visit Support - Pipedream for more support options. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the API key in your Pipedream component. If you have any further questions or need additional help, feel free to ask!
