Integrate the CommCare API with the Python API
Setup the CommCare API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Python API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate CommCare and Python remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular CommCare and Python Actions#
Write Python and use any of the 350k+ PyPi packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Python docs to learn more.
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 Python#
Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.
This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.
Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Python#
def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
# Reference data from previous steps
print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
# Return data for use in future steps
return {"foo": {"test":True}}
