AWS SDK for JavaScript Appflow Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.
Welcome to the Amazon AppFlow API reference. This guide is for developers who need detailed information about the Amazon AppFlow API operations, data types, and errors.
Amazon AppFlow is a fully managed integration service that enables you to securely transfer data between software as a service (SaaS) applications like Salesforce, Marketo, Slack, and ServiceNow, and Amazon Web Services like Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift.
Use the following links to get started on the Amazon AppFlow API:
-
Actions: An alphabetical list of all Amazon AppFlow API operations.
-
Data types: An alphabetical list of all Amazon AppFlow data types.
-
Common parameters: Parameters that all Query operations can use.
-
Common errors: Client and server errors that all operations can return.
If you're new to Amazon AppFlow, we recommend that you review the Amazon AppFlow User Guide.
Amazon AppFlow API users can use vendor-specific mechanisms for OAuth, and include
applicable OAuth attributes (such as auth-code and redirecturi) with
the connector-specific ConnectorProfileProperties when creating a new connector
profile using Amazon AppFlow API operations. For example, Salesforce users can refer to
the
Authorize Apps with OAuth
documentation.
To install the this package, simply type add or install @aws-sdk/client-appflow using your favorite package manager:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-appflowyarn add @aws-sdk/client-appflowpnpm add @aws-sdk/client-appflow
The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.
To send a request, you only need to import the AppflowClient and
the commands you need, for example ListFlowsCommand:
// ES5 example
const { AppflowClient, ListFlowsCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-appflow");// ES6+ example
import { AppflowClient, ListFlowsCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-appflow";To send a request, you:
- Initiate client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
- Initiate command with input parameters.
- Call
sendoperation on client with command object as input. - If you are using a custom http handler, you may call
destroy()to close open connections.
// a client can be shared by different commands.
const client = new AppflowClient({ region: "REGION" });
const params = {
/** input parameters */
};
const command = new ListFlowsCommand(params);We recommend using await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
} finally {
// finally.
}Async-await is clean, concise, intuitive, easy to debug and has better error handling as compared to using Promise chains or callbacks.
You can also use Promise chaining to execute send operation.
client.send(command).then(
(data) => {
// process data.
},
(error) => {
// error handling.
}
);Promises can also be called using .catch() and .finally() as follows:
client
.send(command)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
})
.finally(() => {
// finally.
});We do not recommend using callbacks because of callback hell, but they are supported by the send operation.
// callbacks.
client.send(command, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});The client can also send requests using v2 compatible style. However, it results in a bigger bundle size and may be dropped in next major version. More details in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript
import * as AWS from "@aws-sdk/client-appflow";
const client = new AWS.Appflow({ region: "REGION" });
// async/await.
try {
const data = await client.listFlows(params);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
// error handling.
}
// Promises.
client
.listFlows(params)
.then((data) => {
// process data.
})
.catch((error) => {
// error handling.
});
// callbacks.
client.listFlows(params, (err, data) => {
// process err and data.
});When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).
try {
const data = await client.send(command);
// process data.
} catch (error) {
const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
/**
* The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
* You can access them by specifying exception names:
* if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
* const value = error.specialKeyInException;
* }
