HotspotSystem Overview#

The HotspotSystem API enables automation of hotspot management tasks, such as creating and managing user accounts, adjusting access packages, and retrieving usage statistics. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can build powerful workflows to interact with this API, automating tasks that otherwise would take considerable manual effort. Use Pipedream to integrate HotspotSystem with a myriad of services for notifications, data analysis, customer management, and more, all in real-time.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/polling.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "hotspotsystem-new-customer-created",
  name: "New Customer Created",

    }) {
      return this.app.makeRequest({
        path: `/locations/${locationId}/customers`,
        ...args,
      });
    },
    getResourcesFn() {
      return this.listLocationCustomers;
    },

        ts: Date.parse(resource.registered_at),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

Label	Prop	Type	Description
HotspotSystem	`app`	`app`	This component uses the HotspotSystem 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 Hotspot System API
Location ID	`locationId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",
  version: "0.0.13",
  description: "Get a film",
  type: "action",
  props: {
    swapi,
    film: {
      propDefinition: [
        swapi,
        "film",
      ],
    },
  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
