Overview of Algolia#

Algolia is a powerful search-as-a-service platform that makes it easy to deliver fast, relevant search experiences to users. The Algolia API allows developers to programmatically manage search indices, perform searches, and capture insights about search activity. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate and integrate Algolia's capabilities with other apps, creating efficient workflows that enhance search functionalities and user engagement. You can sync data across platforms, automate content indexing, and trigger actions based on search patterns or user behaviors.

Connect Algolia#

import algoliasearch from "algoliasearch";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    algolia: {
      type: "app",
      app: "algolia",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const client = algoliasearch(this.algolia.$auth.application_id, this.algolia.$auth.api_key);
    return await client.listIndices()
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
