The fastest way to integrate APIs, and run code. Pipedream is a serverless computing platform and integration platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven workflows and connect apps. Any API can be turned into an event stream by creating event sources. You can create event sources to listen for tweets, Github events or Airtable records. You can inspect events in a human-friendly manner, trigger Node.js workflows for every event, and consume events in your app via API. Node.js code steps are used to create workflows that run on every event. You can write your own Node.js and use any npm packages. Or you can reuse actions that scaffold popular APIs. You can trigger via sources, a custom URL, email address or SDK code, or a schedule. Connect to Auth apps once and they will continue to work in your workflow. Pipedream supports OAuth, key-based auth and handles token refresh and OAuth flow for you. Simply link accounts to steps, and include the appropriate auth information in code.
