Orca Scan Overview#

The Orca Scan API is a gateway to integrate barcode scanning and inventory management capabilities into various workflows. By leveraging the API, you can automate data collection, streamline inventory tracking, and sync your barcode scanning data with other systems. When used on Pipedream, you can merge Orca Scan functionalities with countless other apps, creating custom automation rules, processing data, and managing inventory in real-time. Ideal for inventory management, asset tracking, and data collection automation, the Orca Scan API is a tool that can adapt to a myriad of business needs.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "orca_scan-new-sheet",
  name: "New Sheet Created",
  description: "Emit new event when a new sheet is created in Orca Scan. [See the documentation](https://orcascan.com/guides/add-barcode-tracking-to-your-system-using-a-rest-api-f09a21c3)",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getLastInfo() {
      return this.db.get("lastId") || 0;
    },
    _setLastInfo(row) {
      return this.db.set("lastId", row._id);
    },
    async getData(maxResults = false, lastId) {
      const { data: sheets } = await this.orcaScan.listSheets();

      let pos = -1;
      let sortedSheets = sheets;
      if (lastId) {
        pos = sheets.findIndex((sheet) => sheet._id == lastId);
        if (pos != -1) sortedSheets = sheets.slice(pos + 1);
      }

      if (maxResults && sortedSheets.length >= maxResults) sortedSheets.length = maxResults;
      return sortedSheets.reverse();
    },
    getEmit(sheet) {
      return {
        id: sheet._id,
        summary: `New Sheet: ${sheet.name}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Orca Scan	`orcaScan`	`app`	This component uses the Orca Scan app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

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;
  },
};
