Integrate the Azure AI Vision API with the Node API

Azure AI Vision

Azure AI Vision is a unified service that offers innovative computer vision capabilities. Give your apps the ability to analyze images, read text, and detect faces with prebuilt image tagging, text extraction with optical character recognition (OCR), and responsible facial recognition. Incorporate vision features into your projects with no machine learning experience required.

Setup the Azure AI Vision API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Azure AI Vision and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Azure AI Vision#

The Azure AI Vision API provides powerful image analysis capabilities, enabling you to extract information and insights from your visual data. With this API, you can perform tasks like image classification, object detection, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to recognize text within images. Leveraging Pipedream, you can integrate these AI-powered insights into your workflows to create dynamic and automated processes.

Connect Azure AI Vision#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    azure_ai_vision: {
      type: "app",
      app: "azure_ai_vision",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const data = {

    }    
    return await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: `${this.azure_ai_vision.$auth.endpoint}computervision/imageanalysis:analyze`,
      params: {
        "api-version": `2023-02-01-preview`,
        features: `read`, //e.g. read
      },
      headers: {
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": `${auths.azure_ai_vision.subscription_key}`,
      },

    })
  },
})

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
  },
})
