CodeREADr Overview#

The CodeREADr API allows you to integrate barcode scanning and data collection into your workflows on Pipedream. With this API, you can automate barcode validation, track event attendance, manage inventory, and more by creating, updating, and retrieving scan records. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to connect CodeREADr with other apps, triggering actions based on scan data, or enriching CodeREADr data with information from other sources.

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
CodeREADr	`app`	`app`	This component uses the CodeREADr app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the API
Status	`status`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Valid", "value": "1" }{ "label": "Invalid", "value": "0" }{ "label": "Not Validated Due To Lost Internet Connectivity", "value": "-1" }`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Pinterest Overview#

The Pinterest API opens a portal to interact programmatically with Pinterest's rich data, including boards, pins, and user information. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate actions like posting new pins, extracting pin data for analysis, and synchronizing Pinterest content with other platforms. The potential extends to marketing optimization, content management, and audience engagement, all automated and integrated within the Pipedream ecosystem.

Action Authentication#

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

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

boards:readboards:read_secretboards:writeboards:write_secretpins:readpins:read_secretpins:writepins:write_secretuser_accounts:read
