Build and run workflows using the KVdb API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The KVdb API is a key-value store that facilitates simple data storage and retrieval operations. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to build serverless workflows that require quick data access and state management. Whether you're needing to store user preferences, cache data for repeat use, or coordinate distributed processes, KVdb's straightforward RESTful interface can be integrated into Pipedream's workflows to provide persistent storage solutions.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
kvdb: {
type: "app",
app: "kvdb",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://kvdb.io/${this.kvdb.$auth.api_key}/`,
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
User Preference Management for a Slack Bot
In a workflow where a Slack bot interacts with users, use KVdb to remember user preferences or the last interaction state. When a user sends a command to the bot, the workflow retrieves the user's data from KVdb to personalize the interaction, then updates the data based on current interactions for future reference.Cache Layer for API Call Responses
Speed up response times by caching API call results in KVdb. When a workflow includes an API call that doesn't change often, like a request for weather data or a list of countries from a third-party API, store the response in KVdb. Subsequent workflow runs first check KVdb to see if the data exists and is fresh before calling the external API again, thus saving on API call quotas and speeding up the overall process.Coordinating Distributed Cron Jobs
If you have multiple cron-triggered Pipedream workflows that need to work in tandem without stepping on each other's toes, use KVdb to manage flags or timestamps that indicate when a job was last run. Each workflow checks and sets values in KVdb to ensure they only proceed when needed, effectively coordinating processes and preventing overlap or unnecessary executions.

Authentication#
KVdb uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your KVdb account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to KVdb APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Not all API endpoints in KVdb require the use of an API key, however buckets can be protected with secret keys. They can be generated by sending a request the endpoint Create Bucket.
