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.

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.

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
Data.Police.UK	`dataPoliceUK`	`app`	This component uses the Data.Police.UK app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Data Police UK on this schedule
Date	`date`	`string`	(YYYY-MM) Limit results to a specific month. The latest month will be shown by default
Latitude	`lat`	`string`	Latitude of the requested crime area. You must use either lat/lng or poly, never both.
Longitude	`lng`	`string`	Longitude of the requested crime area. You must use either lat/lng or poly, never both.
Poly	`poly`	`string`	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.

Typeform Overview#

The Typeform API furnishes you with the means to create dynamic forms and collect user responses in real-time. By leveraging this API within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can automate workflows to process this data, integrate seamlessly with other services, and react to form submissions instantaneously. This empowers you to craft tailored responses, synchronize with databases, trigger email campaigns, or even manage event registrations without manual intervention.

Action Code#

import typeform from "../../typeform.app.mjs";
import utils from "../utils.mjs";

const { reduceProperties } = utils;

export default {
  key: "typeform-create-form",
  name: "Create a Form",

    },
    workspaceHref: {
      propDefinition: [

    const resp = await this.typeform.createForm({

    $.export("$summary", `Successfully created a new form, "${resp.title}"`);

    return resp;
  },
};

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
Typeform	`typeform`	`app`	This component uses the Typeform app.
Title	`title`	`string`	Title to use for the typeform
Workspace	`workspaceHref`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

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

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