Integrate the AltText.ai API with the Data Stores API

AltText.ai provides an API that leverages artificial intelligence to generate alternative text (alt text) for images, which is crucial for web accessibility and SEO. With AltText.ai, you can automate the process of creating descriptive, keyword-rich, and meaningful alt text for images on websites, blogs, or online stores. In Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events to send images to the AltText.ai API and receive alt text, which you can then store or apply to your content management system automatically.

Connect AltText.ai#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    alttext_ai: {
      type: "app",
      app: "alttext_ai",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://alttext.ai/api/v1/account`,
      headers: {
        "X-API-Key": `${this.alttext_ai.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.

Connect Data Stores#

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    myDataStore: {
      type: "data_store",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    await this.myDataStore.set("key_here","Any serializable JSON as the value")
    return await this.myDataStore.get("key_here")
  },
