Use OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize SharePoint to access Snapshots API data.
Use the Microsoft identity platform (Azure AD) to grant access tokens and manage permissions.
Endpoint1: GET /locations — Retrieve location data. Additional endpoints are not exercised on this page; refer to full API docs for more details.
Trigger: when a new or updated location is created in Snapshots API.
Actions: create or update items in a SharePoint list and map metadata from Snapshots API.
GET /locations
location_id, name, coordinates, last_updated
Trigger: when a SharePoint item is updated.
Actions: PATCH or PUT to update the corresponding location in Snapshots API.
PATCH /locations/{location_id}
location_id, last_modified
Trigger: nightly or scheduled interval.
Actions: pull fresh data from Snapshots API and update SharePoint lists accordingly.
GET /locations
location_id, last_synced
Automated data sync reduces manual data entry and human error.
Centralized data in SharePoint improves collaboration and reporting.
Flexible scheduling options support real-time or batch updates.
Key elements include authentication methods, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings between Snapshots API and SharePoint.
An Application Programming Interface that allows software to communicate and exchange data.
An authorization framework that enables secure access token-based permissions.
A callback mechanism that notifies your systems when an event occurs.
A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource or perform an action.
Create live SharePoint dashboards that visualize location data pulled from Snapshots API.
Trigger reminders and tasks in SharePoint when locations are added or updated in Snapshots API.
Automate weekly exports of location data from Snapshots API into SharePoint libraries.
Obtain OAuth tokens for Snapshots API and configure Azure AD permissions for SharePoint access.
Map GET /locations to a SharePoint list and set up triggers for create/update events.
Run a test sync, verify data integrity, and deploy with scheduled updates.
The Snapshots API exposes location data that you can pull into SharePoint to enrich lists and reports. By authenticating securely, you can create workflows that ingest, map, and visualize this data within your SharePoint environment. You can customize which fields are brought over and how often the sync occurs to fit your team’s needs.
Basic setup can be performed by technical users familiar with OAuth and API endpoints, but many teams can leverage no-code automations for common scenarios. A developer is helpful for complex mappings or custom logic.
Yes. You can map specific API fields to corresponding SharePoint columns and control how updates propagate. This ensures data consistency and relevance for your workflows.
Security relies on standard OAuth tokens, least-privilege permissions, and encrypted connections. Regular token rotation and scoped permissions help minimize risk.
You can sync location identifiers, names, coordinates, timestamps, and custom metadata. The exact fields depend on how you map the API response to SharePoint columns.
You can choose real-time triggers or scheduled intervals. Real-time syncing requires event-driven webhooks, while scheduled syncing can run at your preferred cadence.
Log dashboards and error reports are available in the integration console. You can review recent runs, failures, and retry accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
