Back to APIs

Manage your DigitalOcean resources, storage, and compute resources.

Using the DigitalOcean API with Trigger.dev

You can use Trigger.dev with any existing Node SDK or even just using fetch. Using io.runTask makes your DigitalOcean background job resumable and appear in our dashboard.

Use io.runTask() and the official SDK or fetch.

Example code using DigitalOcean

Below is a working code example of how you can use DigitalOcean with Trigger.dev. These samples are open source and maintained by the community, you can copy and paste them into your own projects.

import { TriggerClient, eventTrigger } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
2
import z from "zod";

  }),

  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
25
    // Wrap an SDK call in io.runTask so it's resumable and displays in logs

    await io.runTask(

      "DigitalOcean",

      async () => {

        // Make request using Fetch API
