Shipengine Overview#

The Shipengine API enables robust automation possibilities for shipping logistics. From label creation, rate comparison, to tracking shipments, the API provides the tools to streamline e-commerce and shipping workflows. By harnessing Shipengine's capabilities through Pipedream, you can build seamless integrations that connect your shipping operations with other business processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual overhead.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/webhook.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "shipengine-new-tracking-event",
  name: "New Tracking Event (Instant)",

        id: ts,
        ts,

            ...resource,
          }, this.generateMeta(resource)));
    },
  },
};

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
Shipengine	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Shipengine app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.

Trigger Authentication#

Shipengine uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Shipengine account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Shipengine 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;
  },
};
