VisualPing API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the VisualPing 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#
VisualPing is a tool that lets you monitor web pages for changes. Using its API with Pipedream, you can automate reactions to those changes. For instance, you can set up workflows that notify you or your team when specific parts of a web page update, or use changes to trigger downstream actions in other apps. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to connect VisualPing with a vast array of apps to create custom, automated workflows without writing a lot of code.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
visualping: {
type: "app",
app: "visualping",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://account.api.visualping.io/describe-user`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.visualping.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automate Slack Notifications on Web Changes: Monitor your competitor's home page for changes and automatically send a notification to a designated Slack channel. This keeps your marketing or product team informed about competitor updates almost in real-time.

Authentication#
VisualPing uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your VisualPing account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into VisualPing and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any VisualPing API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- accessToken
POSThttps://api.visualping.io/v2/token?method=PASSWORD&email={{custom_fields.email}}&password={{custom_fields.password}} - refreshToken
POSThttps://api.visualping.io/v2/token?method=REFRESH_TOKEN&refreshToken={{custom_fields.refresh_token}}content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencodedaccept:application/json
