GTmetrix API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the GTmetrix API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The GTmetrix API provides an interface to test the loading speed of your website, offering insights into performance issues and potential optimizations. By integrating this API with Pipedream, you can automate performance monitoring, receive alerts, and combine data with other services for in-depth analysis. For instance, you could trigger a performance report after a site update, log results to a spreadsheet for tracking, or compare your metrics against industry standards.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
gtmetrix: {
type: "app",
app: "gtmetrix",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://gtmetrix.com/api/2.0/status`,
auth: {
username: `${this.gtmetrix.$auth.api_key}`,
password: ``,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Performance Check on Deployment: Trigger a GTmetrix test whenever your website deployment process completes. Use a webhook to start the test and save the results to Google Sheets for historical performance tracking.
Scheduled Performance Monitoring: Set up a cron job in Pipedream that periodically triggers GTmetrix tests for your website. Send alerts via email or Slack if performance drops below a certain threshold.
Competitive Analysis Workflow: Compare your site's performance against competitors by running GTmetrix tests for multiple URLs. Use Pipedream to send the results to Airtable, creating a dashboard for easy comparison.

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