To access the Snapshots API from the GHL connector, obtain a valid GHL API token (or OAuth credentials) and store it securely in your integration. Use this credential to authenticate requests to endpoints such as GET /locations.
Adafruit IO requires your username and AIO key to authorize API calls. Enter these credentials in the App Connector configuration and reference them securely in requests to Adafruit IO endpoints.
Endpoint1: GET /locations – retrieve location data. Other endpoints are available as you expand your integration.
Trigger: A new data point is created in an Adafruit IO feed.
Action: POST the new readings to Snapshots API (POST /locations) with fields mapped from Adafruit IO.
POST /locations
Key fields: location_id, timestamp, value, device_id (as applicable)
Trigger: Scheduled interval (e.g., every 15 minutes) retrieves new Adafruit IO data.
Action: POST batch data to Snapshots API (POST /locations/batch).
POST /locations/batch
Fields: batch of records with id, timestamp, value, and optional tags.
Trigger: Adafruit IO webhook or pull to fetch updates.
Actions: GET data from Adafruit IO and map to Snapshots API fields; use GET /locations.
GET /locations
Key fields: location_id, timestamp, value.
Build powerful automations without writing code by using the GHL App Connector and Adafruit IO triggers and actions.
Drag-and-drop workflow design, quick testing, and robust error handling improve time-to-automation.
Consolidated data flow across IoT devices and location data for analytics and dashboards.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication methods, and data mappings that enable a seamless no-code integration between GHL and the Adafruit IO app.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how software components communicate with Snapshots API to request data, create records, or update state.
An API endpoint is a URL that performs a specific action, such as GET /locations to retrieve location data.
A trigger starts a Zapier workflow when a defined event occurs in Adafruit IO or the Snapshots API.
Authentication verifies identity and permissions before allowing API access, typically via API keys, OAuth tokens, or HTTP headers.
Stream live Adafruit IO feeds into Snapshots API to drive dashboards and alerts without writing code.
Schedule nightly syncs to archive IoT data for analytics and compliance.
Trigger notifications or actions when readings breach thresholds, enabling proactive responses.
Collect your GHL API token and your Adafruit IO username and AIO key. Keep these secure.
Define mapping rules between Adafruit IO feeds and Snapshots API fields (e.g., feed value -> location value, timestamp alignment).
Run tests, validate data integrity, and turn on the Zapier App Connector workflow.
You can sync location data, sensor readings, and status updates from Adafruit IO to Snapshots API. Map your feed fields to the corresponding API fields and control the data flow with triggers. If you need to archive historical values, use batch synchronization.
No coding required—use the no-code Zapier App Connector. The setup guides you through dragging triggers and actions and mapping fields between Adafruit IO and Snapshots API. Templates help you get started quickly and reduce setup time.
All data is transmitted securely using HTTPS and API keys. Rotate credentials regularly and apply principle of least privilege to endpoints. Enable logging and error handling in your Zapier workflow for reliable operation.
Yes, you can connect multiple Adafruit IO feeds by creating separate triggers and actions for each feed. Alternatively, consolidate into batch operations when appropriate. Monitor quotas and adjust polling intervals to stay within plan limits.
You can run real-time streaming, scheduled batch, or on-demand sync depending on your trigger choice. Configure in Zapier to match data freshness needs. Use batch endpoints for high-volume updates to reduce API calls.
Snapshots API exposes endpoints like GET /locations, POST /locations, and POST /locations/batch for data operations. Review the official API docs for the full endpoint list and usage notes.
You can find API documentation on the Snapshots API docs page or within Rankr’s developer portal. If you need enterprise support, contact Rankr.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
