Phantombuster Overview#

Phantombuster is a tool that lets you automate interactions with web platforms to extract data, manage social media campaigns, and automate web actions. Using its API on Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate these automation capabilities into complex workflows. Imagine orchestrating a symphony where Phantombuster plays the strings—pulling data from LinkedIn, sending tailored tweets, or automating lead generation—while Pipedream conducts, integrating these actions with other apps and services for a harmonious data-driven performance.

Trigger Code#

import app from "../../phantombuster.app.mjs";
import { DEFAULT_POLLING_SOURCE_TIMER_INTERVAL } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default {
  key: "phantombuster-new-output",
  name: "New Output Created Event",

      },
    },

          summary: resp.output,

  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Phantombuster	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Phantombuster app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Agent ID	`agentId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Phantombuster uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Phantombuster account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Phantombuster APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Your API key resides in your Phantombuster Org settings page. This page is also accessible through your navbar's menu, under the label "Org settings". Please notice that for security reasons, you key will only be shown once, on creation. You better copy it in a safe place before refreshing or leaving the page.

For more info, refer to Phantombuster's API documentation.
