We currently support extracts - the first 1000 tokens (~750 words) of parsed HTML for a site. Note that each piece of content retrieved costs 1 request. Also note that instant is a little bit of a lie if you are using keyword search, in which case contents might take a few seconds to retrieve.

Overview of Slack#
The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.
The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.
- Automate posting updates to your team channels
- Create a bot to answer common questions
- Integrate with your existing tools and services
- And much more!

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {

type: "app",
app: "slack",
}

return await axios($, {
url: `https://slack.com/api/users.profile.get`,

Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
