Integrate the Helium (Console) API with the Data Stores API

The Helium (Console) API serves as a gateway to the Helium network, a decentralized blockchain network for IoT devices. It enables you to interact with the network by fetching device data, managing hotspots, and tracking sensor activity. With Pipedream, you can automate workflows that respond to this data in real-time. This allows for the creation of complex IoT applications, such as automated alerts, data analysis, and integration with other services for enhanced functionality.

Connect Helium (Console)#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    helium: {
      type: "app",
      app: "helium",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://console.helium.com/api/v1/devices`,
      headers: {
        "key": `${this.helium.$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")
  },
})
