Cartes API allows users to create, update, and share maps with custom markers, making it useful for location-based data visualization. With Pipedream, you can automate interactions with the Cartes API to integrate real-time mapping capabilities into your workflows. For instance, you could track assets, manage event locations, or update a map with user-generated content from various sources. Pipedream's power lies in its ability to connect the Cartes API with hundreds of other apps to create dynamic, automated workflows.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
cartes: {
type: "app",
app: "cartes",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://cartes.io/api/maps`,
})
},
})
Real-Time Event Mapping: Automatically update a Cartes map with event locations as they are scheduled in a Google Calendar. Each time a new event is added, a Pipedream workflow triggers and places a marker on the map, providing a visual overview of event hotspots.
Customer Feedback Visualization: When a customer submits feedback through a Typeform survey indicating a location-based issue, a Pipedream workflow adds a marker to a Cartes map. This aids businesses in pinpointing areas with high volumes of customer concerns for targeted service improvements.
Asset Tracking System: Combine Cartes with GPS tracking hardware data. As assets move and report their coordinates through a webhook, Pipedream processes the data and updates their positions on a Cartes map in near real-time, useful for fleet management or logistics.
Cartes uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Cartes account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Cartes APIs in both code and no-code steps.
You do not need an API key to create maps. When you create a map via API, it will return the map object with a token field. This token will only be returned once, and is required to edit or delete the resource you just created.
