WooCommerce Overview#

WooCommerce is a customizable, open-source eCommerce platform built on WordPress. With the WooCommerce API, you can tap into the heart of your eCommerce store to read, create, update, and delete products, orders, and customers. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate routine tasks, sync data across platforms, and enhance customer experiences. By connecting WooCommerce to a wide array of apps and services, you can streamline operations, trigger personalized marketing, and analyze your sales data with greater ease.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "woocommerce-new-product-event",
  name: "New Product Event (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event each time the specified product event(s) occur",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getSampleEvents({ perPage }) {
      return this.woocommerce.listProducts({
        per_page: perPage,
        orderby: "date",
      });
    },
    getTopic(topicType) {
      return `product.${topicType}`;
    },
    generateMeta(eventType, {
      id, name, date_modified: dateModified,
    }) {
      const ts = Date.parse(dateModified);
      return {
        id: `${id}${ts}`,
        summary: `Product "${name || id}" ${eventType}`,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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
WooCommerce	`woocommerce`	`app`	This component uses the WooCommerce app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Event topics	`topics`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`createdupdateddeleted`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Description:Executes a scraper on a specific website and returns its content as text. This action is perfect for extracting content from a single page.

Version:0.0.1

Apify Overview#

The Apify API unleashes the power to automate web scraping, process data, and orchestrate web automation workflows. By utilizing Apify on Pipedream, you can create dynamic serverless workflows to manage tasks like extracting data from websites, running browser automation, and scheduling these jobs to run autonomously. It integrates smoothly with Pipedream's capabilities to trigger actions on various other apps, store the results, and manage complex data flow with minimal setup.

Action Code#

import apify from "../../apify.app.mjs";
import { ACTOR_ID } from "../../common/constants.mjs";

      optional: false,
    },
    crawlerType: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Crawler Type",
      description: "Select the crawling engine:\n- **Headless web browser** - Useful for modern websites with anti-scraping protections and JavaScript rendering. It recognizes common blocking patterns like CAPTCHAs and automatically retries blocked requests through new sessions. However, running web browsers is more expensive as it requires more computing resources and is slower. It is recommended to use at least 8 GB of RAM.\n- **Stealthy web browser** (default) - Another headless web browser with anti-blocking measures enabled. Try this if you encounter bot protection while scraping. For best performance, use with Apify Proxy residential IPs. \n- **Raw HTTP client** - High-performance crawling mode that uses raw HTTP requests to fetch the pages. It is faster and cheaper, but it might not work on all websites.",
