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 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
  },
})
