Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event when a new crime is reported in a specific area.
Version:0.0.1
Key:data_police_uk-crime-reported

Data.Police.UK Overview

The Data.Police.UK API provides access to a wide array of UK crime data, allowing users to query information about street-level crimes, outcomes, and the location of police stations. You can leverage this data within Pipedream to build automated workflows that react to new data, analyze crime trends, or integrate with other services to enhance public awareness and safety. With Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that connect Data.Police.UK API with other apps to streamline tasks, generate reports, or trigger alerts based on crime data.

Datedatestring

(YYYY-MM) Limit results to a specific month. The latest month will be shown by default

Latitudelatstring

Latitude of the requested crime area. You must use either lat/lng or poly, never both.

Longitude of the requested crime area. You must use either lat/lng or poly, never both.

Polypolystring

The lat/lng pairs which define the boundary of the custom area. The poly parameter is formatted in lat/lng pairs, separated by colons: [lat],[lng]:[lat],[lng]:[lat],[lng]. You must use either lat/lng or poly, never both.

Trigger Authentication

Data.Police.UK uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Data.Police.UK account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Data.Police.UK APIs in both code and no-code steps.

The Data.Police.UK API does not enforce authentication.

About Data.Police.UK

Open data about crime and policing in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Action

Description:Add a single row of data to Google Sheets. [See the documentation](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/append)
Version:2.1.11
Key:google_sheets-add-single-row

Google Sheets Overview

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Action Configuration

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

LabelPropTypeDescription
Google SheetsgoogleSheetsappThis component uses the Google Sheets app.
DrivedrivestringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
SpreadsheetsheetIdstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
Worksheet(s)worksheetIdstring[]Select a value from the drop down menu.
Does the first row of the sheet have headers?hasHeadersboolean

If the first row of your document has headers, we'll retrieve them to make it easy to enter the value for each column. Note: When using a dynamic reference for the worksheet ID (e.g. {{steps.foo.$return_value}}), this setting is ignored.

Action Authentication

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
