Overview of CommCare#

The CommCare API provides programmatic access to CommCareHQ data, allowing developers to build powerful automations and integrations. With this API, you can retrieve and update data such as forms, cases, and users. These capabilities enable you to streamline workflows, synchronize datasets across platforms, and extend CommCare's functionality.

Connect CommCare#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    commcare: {
      type: "app",
      app: "commcare",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.commcarehq.org/api/v0.5/identity/`,
      headers: {
        "Authorization": `ApiKey ${this.commcare.$auth.email}:${this.commcare.$auth.api_key} `,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
