Popular Yelp and Snowflake Triggers#
Overview of Yelp#
The Yelp API provides access to rich data on local businesses across various categories, including restaurants, bars, and service providers. Leveraging Yelp's API on Pipedream allows you to automate the retrieval of business information, ratings, and customer reviews, which can be instrumental in making data-driven decisions for market analysis, customer insights, or even personal use. By stitching the Yelp API into Pipedream workflows, you unlock potential for real-time monitoring, data collection, and cross-application synergy, enhancing your business intelligence and operational efficiency.
Connect Yelp#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
yelp: {
type: "app",
app: "yelp",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.yelp.$auth.api_key}`,
},
params: {
location: `san francisco, ca`,
},
})
},
})
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.
