Overview of Foursquare#

The Foursquare API empowers developers to tap into rich data about venues, user check-ins, and location-based experiences. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate tasks such as fetching venue recommendations based on user preferences, keeping a log of customer visits to your business, or integrating location insights into your CRM. Combining Foursquare data with other services on Pipedream allows you to create powerful, location-aware business solutions without the heavy lifting of manual data handling.

Connect Foursquare#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    foursquare: {
      type: "app",
      app: "foursquare",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/self`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.foursquare.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
      params: {
        oauth_token: `${this.foursquare.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "v": `20191001`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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.
