Integrate the DarkSky API API with the Data Stores API

The DarkSky API offers detailed weather information that includes minute-by-minute forecasts, hourly forecasts, and daily summaries. By harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can automate tasks like sending alerts, integrating weather data into event planning platforms, or tailoring content based on weather conditions. With Pipedream’s serverless platform, these use cases become straightforward to implement, and you can trigger workflows with new weather data, schedule checks at regular intervals, or even react to changes in forecasted conditions.

Connect DarkSky API#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    darksky_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "darksky_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.darksky.net/forecast/${this.darksky_api.$auth.secret_key}/37.8267,-122.4233`,
    })
  },
})

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")
  },
})
