Dev.to
Where programmers share ideas and help each other grow.
Integrate the Dev.to API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Dev.to API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Dev.to and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Dev.to and Snowflake Triggers#
Emit new event for each new story that has a matching tag (e.g., javascript)
Emit new event for each new article published on your Dev.to account
Run a SQL query on a schedule, triggering a workflow for each row of results
Emit new event for each new reading list item on your Dev.to account
Overview of Dev.to#
The Dev.to API enables programmatic interaction with Dev.to, a community for software developers to share articles and engage with content. Through the API, you can automate content creation, management, and analysis. Accessing user articles, managing comments, and triggering actions based on Dev.to events are just a few capabilities at your disposal. By leveraging these with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft powerful automations that respond in real-time to activities on Dev.to, streamlining your content strategy and community engagement.
Connect Dev.to#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
dev_to: {
type: "app",
app: "dev_to",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://dev.to/api/articles/me`,
headers: {
"api-key": `${this.dev_to.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Snowflake#
Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.
Getting Started
1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake
Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.
We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.
2. Enter those details in Pipedream
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.
You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.
3. Build your first workflow
Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
