New Scheduled Tasks on Pipedream

Description:Exposes an HTTP API for scheduling messages to be emitted at a future time

Version:0.3.1

Pipedream Overview#

Pipedream is an API that allows you to build applications that can connect to
various data sources and processes them in real-time. You can use Pipedream to
create applications that can perform ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks,
as well as to create data-driven workflows.

Some examples of applications you can build using the Pipedream API include:

An application that can extract data from a database, transform it, and then
load it into another database.
An application that can monitor a data source for changes, and then trigger a
workflow in response to those changes.
An application that can poll an API for new data, and then process that data
in real-time.

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
Pipedream	`pipedream`	`app`	This component uses the Pipedream app.
Secret	`secret`	`string`	Optional but recommended: if you enter a secret here, you must pass this value in the `x-pd-secret` HTTP header when making requests
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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

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