When we released our Replicate integration last month, we added support for tasks that could be completed via a one-time webhook request to support Replicate Prediction webhooks. Replicate webhooks work by providing a URL for a "callback" request when creating a prediction:
await replicate.predictions.create({ version: "d55b9f2d...", input: { prompt: "call me later maybe" }, webhook: "https://example.com/replicate-webhook", webhook_events_filter: ["completed"], // optional});
This allowed us to create an integration task that uses these webhooks to provide a seemless experience when creating a prediction:
const prediction = await io.replicate.predictions.createAndAwait( "create-prediction", { version: "d55b9f2d...", input: { prompt: "call me later maybe", }, });
We've now nicely exposed the same functionality so anyone can take advantage of similar APIs with our new io.waitForRequest() built-in task. This task allows you to create a task that will wait for a request to be made to a specific URL, and then return the request body as the task result. This is useful for any API that requires a webhook to be set up, or for any API that requires a callback URL to be provided.
For example, you could use it to interface with ScreenshotOne.com to take a screenshot of a website and resume execution once the screenshot is ready:
const result = await io.waitForRequest( "screenshot-one", async (url) => { await fetch(`https://api.screenshotone.com/take`, { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", }, body: JSON.stringify({ access_key: process.env.SCREENSHOT_ONE_API_KEY, url: "https://trigger.dev", store: "true", storage_path: "my-screeshots", response_type: "json", async: "true", webhook_url: url, // this is the URL that will be called when the screenshot is ready storage_return_location: "true", }), }); }, { timeoutInSeconds: 300, // wait up to 5 minutes for the screenshot to be ready });
