dbt Cloud Overview#

The dbt Cloud API allows users to initiate jobs, check on their status, and interact with dbt Cloud programmatically. On Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to automate workflows, such as triggering dbt runs, monitoring your data transformation jobs, and integrating dbt Cloud with other data services. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create custom workflows that act on dbt Cloud events or use the dbt Cloud API to manage your data transformation processes seamlessly.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "dbt-new-job-run-event",
  name: "New Job Run Event (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a job run has started, errored, or completed.",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    eventTypes: {
      type: "string[]",
      label: "Event Types",
      description: "Select the event types to watch",
      options: [
        "job.run.completed",
        "job.run.started",
        "job.run.errored",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getEventTypes() {
      return this.eventTypes;
    },
    generateMeta(body) {
      return {
        id: body.eventId,
        summary: `${body.eventType} for job "${body.data.jobName}"`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
dbt Cloud	`dbt`	`app`	This component uses the dbt Cloud app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Account	`accountId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Event Types	`eventTypes`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`job.run.completedjob.run.startedjob.run.errored`

Trigger Authentication#

dbt Cloud uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your dbt Cloud account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to dbt Cloud APIs in both code and no-code steps.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
