Diffbot
Never write another web scraper. Diffbot structures information from the web, so you don't have to.
Integrate the Diffbot API with the MongoDB API
Setup the Diffbot API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the MongoDB API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Diffbot and MongoDB remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Overview of Diffbot#
The Diffbot API enables you to extract structured data from web pages automatically. It transforms the chaos of the web into usable information through web scraping and natural language processing. On Pipedream, you can use Diffbot to monitor changes on websites, extract article data, or process web pages for specific information. By tapping into Pipedream’s ability to integrate with hundreds of other services, you can create powerful workflows that automate data extraction and act on the data in real-time.
Connect Diffbot#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
diffbot: {
type: "app",
app: "diffbot",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.diffbot.com/v4/account`,
headers: {
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
params: {
token: `${this.diffbot.$auth.api_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of MongoDB#
The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.
Connect MongoDB#
import mongodb from 'mongodb'
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mongodb: {
type: "app",
app: "mongodb",
},
collection: {
type: "string"
},
filter: {
type: "object"
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
const {
database,
hostname,
username,
password,
} = this.mongodb.$auth
const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
})
const db = client.db(database)
const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
$.export('results', results);
await client.close()
},
})
