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.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "apify-new-finished-task-run-instant",
  name: "New Finished Task Run (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a selected task is run and finishes.",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    db: "$.service.db",
    taskId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.apify,
        "taskId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getCondition() {
      return {
        actorTaskId: this.taskId,
      };
    },
    getSummary(body) {
      return `A new task run ${body.eventData.actorRunId} has finished`;
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Apify	`apify`	`app`	This component uses the Apify 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.
Task ID	`taskId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

About Apify#

Apify is the place to find, develop, buy and run cloud programs called actors. Use actors to turn any website into an API.

LoopMessage Overview#

The LoopMessage API offers you the ability to send, receive, and manage messages within your applications. Through Pipedream's integration, you can harness this API to automate communication processes, organize message flows, and even connect to various data sources or other APIs to create complex messaging workflows. With Pipedream, you can trigger actions based on events, schedule messages, and interact with users in real-time without managing servers or infrastructure.
