Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for KoBoToolbox and Pinata and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, Data & Storage, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Create custom KoBoToolbox and Pinata workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

To set up Pinata integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Pinata to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.
See the example hereThese API endpoints were generated using n8n
n8n AI workflow transforms web scraping into an intelligent, AI-powered knowledge extraction system that uses vector embeddings to semantically analyze, chunk, store, and retrieve the most relevant API documentation from web pages. Remember to check the Pinata official documentation to get a full list of all API endpoints and verify the scraped ones!
