Browse AI
The easiest way to extract structured data from any website with no coding.
Integrate the Browse AI API with the Snowflake API
Setup the Browse AI API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Snowflake API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Browse AI and Snowflake remarkably fast. Free for developers.
Popular Browse AI and Snowflake Triggers#
Emits an event when a Browse AI task is completed. See the documentation
Run a SQL query on a schedule, triggering a workflow for each row of results
Emit new event when a task finishes with an error. See the documentation
Popular Browse AI and Snowflake Actions#
Runs a robot on-demand with custom input parameters. See the documentation
Overview of Browse AI#
The Browse AI API enables the automation of data extraction from websites, turning web pages into organized data. It's built for non-coders and coders alike, allowing for custom web scraping and monitoring tasks. Within Pipedream, you can harness Browse AI to create intricate workflows that trigger actions in other apps based on the data you extract. Think of automated competitive analysis, price tracking, or content changes detection, all streamlined through Pipedream's serverless platform.
Connect Browse AI#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
browse_ai: {
type: "app",
app: "browse_ai",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.browse.ai/v2/robots`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.browse_ai.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
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.
