WuBook RateChecker Overview#

The WuBook RateChecker API allows users to retrieve detailed pricing information and rates for various hotels. This powerful tool can be integrated into Pipedream workflows to create automated processes for monitoring hotel prices, analyzing market trends, or updating pricing strategies. With Pipedream's capabilities, you can trigger actions based on the data fetched from WuBook, connect to various apps, and build complex workflows without managing servers or infrastructure.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "wubook_ratechecker-new-competitor-added",
  name: "New Competitor Added",
  description: "Emit new event when a new competitor is added. [See the docs](https://wubook.net/wrpeeker/ratechecker/api_examples)",

  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async getResources() {
      return this.wubook.getMonitoredCompetitors();
    },
    getIdField() {
      return "competitor_id";
    },
    generateMeta(competitor) {
      return {
        id: competitor.competitor_id,
        summary: competitor.name,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
WuBook RateChecker	`wubook`	`app`	This component uses the WuBook RateChecker app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Segment Overview#

The Segment API enables you to collect, manage, and route your customer analytics data to various tools for marketing, analytics, and data warehousing. By harnessing the Segment API on Pipedream, you can automate the ingestion and syncing of user events and properties to multiple destinations, allowing you to create seamless data pipelines without manual intervention. Pipedream's serverless platform empowers you to build custom workflows that react to events in real-time, enrich data, or trigger actions across your tech stack.

Action Code#

import segmentApp from "../../segment.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "segment-alias",
  name: "Associate one identity with another",
  description: "Alias is how you associate one identity with another. See the docs [here](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/http-api/#alias)",
  version: "0.1.4",
  type: "action",
  props: {

        "context",
      ],
    },
    integrations: {
      propDefinition: [
        segmentApp,
        "integrations",
      ],
    },

      type: "string",
      label: "Previous ID",
      description: "Previous unique identifier for the user",
    },

      propDefinition: [
        segmentApp,
        "timestamp",

  async run({ $ }) {
    return this.segmentApp.alias({
      $,
      data: {
        context: this.context,
        integrations: this.integrations,
        previousId: this.previousId,
        timestamp: this.timestamp,
        userId: this.userId,
      },
    });
  },
};

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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Segment	`segmentApp`	`app`	This component uses the Segment app.
Context	`context`	`object`	Dictionary of extra information that provides useful context about a message, but is not directly related to the API call like ip address or locale
Integrations	`integrations`	`object`	Dictionary of destinations to either enable or disable
Previous ID	`previousId`	`string`	Previous unique identifier for the user
Timestamp	`timestamp`	`string`	Timestamp when the message itself took place, defaulted to the current time by the Segment Tracking API. It is an ISO-8601 date string. For example, `2022-04-08T17:32:11.318Z`
User ID	`userId`	`string`	Unique identifier for the user in your database., A User ID or an Anonymous ID is required.

Action Authentication#

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

Segment's APIs are accessed programmatically using access tokens, as well as write keys.

Access Token

Create access tokens via the Access Management page in your account: https://app.segment.com/{your-workspace-name}/settings/access-management. See "Get a Token" for more details. Please note, that you must be on a Team or Business plan to create an access token.

Write Key

You will also need to find your write key, which is a unique identifier for your Source. To find a write key, you first need to create a non-Cloud Source such as a website, server, or mobile source. (Cloud-sources do not have write keys, as they use a token or key from your account with that service.) Then, in the Source, go to “Settings’, and then go to “API Keys”. See "Locating Your Write Key" for more details.
