Integrate the Crowd.dev API with the Data Stores API

Crowd.dev is an API that enriches your understanding of your developer community by aggregating data from various platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and more. By connecting to Crowd.dev, you can track community activity, identify top contributors, and gauge the health of your open-source projects. Pipedream simplifies and amplifies the potential of the Crowd.dev API by allowing you to create automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, like new contributions, issues, or discussions.

Connect Crowd.dev#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    crowd_dev: {
      type: "app",
      app: "crowd_dev",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.crowd.dev/api/auth/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.crowd_dev.$auth.bearer_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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")
  },
})
