Passing Step Function in Node.JS

Question

In Pipedream, I have an OpenWeatherAPI request that successfully retrieves forecast data for temperature on a given day.

My goal is to send this forecast to send a PUT request to a service called Apilio that stores a temperature value for further evaluation.

I’m able to conduct the GET and PUT HTTP requests respectively, but unable to pass the data within Pipedream. In other words, I can manually type in a temperature value in the PUT request, but unable to pass it as a variable.

Here is my script thus far:

import axios from "axios"

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {


const feelslikeresponse = 

steps.OpenWeatherAPI.$return_value.daily[7].feels_like.morn;
    return feelslikeresponse;
    const { data } = await axios({
  method: "PUT",
  url: "https://api.apilio.com/api/v1/numeric_variables/(my UUID)",
})
return data.species
  }, })

var data = { "numeric_variable": { "value": feelslikeresponse } };

let config = {



 "method": 'put',
  "url": 'https://api.apilio.com/api/v1/numeric_variables/(my UUID)',
  "headers": { 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic (my header code)'
  },
  data : data
};

axios(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});

Within the code preview, I am able to hover over steps.OpenWeatherAPI.$return_value.daily[7].feels_like.morn and see the temperature value, but subsequent references to it are lost.

I am still new to coding and would appreciate any pointers or guidance.

Thanks to Wesley for the lesson and scrutinizing syntax. Between this and some hints from the Pipedream forums, how Axios works, and other documentation, I worked out the solution as follows:

import {axios} from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const feelslikeresponse =
      steps.OpenWeatherAPI.$return_value.daily[7].feels_like.morn;

let data = JSON.stringify({
  "numeric_variable":{
    "value":feelslikeresponse
  }
})

const { config } = await axios($,{
  method: "put",
  url: "(myUUID)",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization:
      "Basic (headercode)",
  },
  data : data
});
   return feelslikeresponse;

},
});
