Integrate the Harry Potter API API with the Data Stores API

The Harry Potter API offers a magical touch to any developer's toolkit, allowing you to conjure data about characters, spells, houses, and more from the Harry Potter universe. With Pipedream, you can automate enchanting workflows that leverage this data, creating applications that respond to trivia, organize Harry Potter-themed events, or integrate with chatbots for interactive storytelling. Let's explore the castle's hidden corridors where APIs meet serverless wizardry to automate the magical.

Connect Harry Potter API#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    harry_potter_api: {
      type: "app",
      app: "harry_potter_api",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://www.potterapi.com/v1/sortingHat`,
      params: {
        key: `${this.harry_potter_api.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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")
  },
})
