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
Thanks.io	`thanksIo`	`app`	This component uses the Thanks.io 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 API on this schedule
Sub Account	`subAccount`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI (Star Wars API) provides a wealth of data about the Star Wars
universe to build applications. With the SWAPI, developers can access detailed
Star Wars related data about people, planets, films, species and much more.
From web and mobile applications to data analysis, the possibilities are
limitless.

Here are a few examples of what developers can build using the SWAPI:

Create a Star Wars encyclopedia to document the Star Wars universe and its
characters.
Design a custom interactive map to explore the planets of the Star Wars
universe.
Analyze the data to uncover patterns and insights about Star Wars films,
characters, and species.
Design a search engine to query Star Wars related data.
Create a mobile app that displays information about the characters, films and
species in the Star Wars universe.
Design a live score system specialized in providing stats related to the Star
Wars films and characters.
