Overview of Looker#

The Looker API provides programmatic access to Looker's data exploration functionalities, allowing you to tap into your data analytics and share insights across your organization dynamically. With the Looker API on Pipedream, you can automate reporting, synchronize analytics data with other apps, and trigger data-driven workflows. Whether it's scheduling reports, updating dashboards, or integrating data insights into other systems, the Looker API empowers you to make data-informed decisions efficiently.

Connect Looker#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    looker: {
      type: "app",
      app: "looker",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `${this.looker.$auth.looker_base_url}/api/4.0/user`,
      headers: {
        "Authorization": `token ${this.looker.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
