Authenticate Stan with the Snapshots API using your API key or OAuth credentials. Store tokens securely and pass them with each request to ensure secure, seamless access.
Stan uses the provided credentials to authenticate to the Snapshots API. Token exchange and refresh happen automatically to keep data flowing without manual re-authentication.
– GET /locations — Retrieve all location records (including id, name, address, and coordinates). – GET /locations/{location_id} — Retrieve a single location by ID. – GET /locations/search?query={query} — Search for locations by keyword.
Trigger: Stan initiates a full locations sync to pull the latest data from the Snapshots API.
Actions: Call GET /locations, map id, name, address, city, country, and coordinates into Stan; handle pagination as needed.
GET /locations
location_id, name, address, city, state, country, coordinates
Actions: Call GET /locations/{location_id}, map fields to Stan, validate response, and store in the dashboard.
GET /locations/{location_id}
location_id, name, address, coordinates
Trigger: Stan runs a search query against the Snapshots API to discover locations.
Actions: Call GET /locations/search?query={query}, map results into Stan, handle pagination if available.
GET /locations/search
query, page, page_size
No-code integration lets you build powerful workflows without writing code. Use Stan’s UI and the Zapier App Connector to connect Snapshots API endpoints and start automating data flows immediately.
Automate data synchronization on triggers and schedules, ensuring Stan dashboards always reflect the latest location data from Snapshots API.
Easily map API fields to Stan’s schema, scale with additional endpoints later, and reuse components across multiple workflows.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, and actions used to connect the Snapshots API with Stan, plus common terms you’ll encounter in the setup.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. The Snapshots API exposes location data that Stan can read and display.
Endpoint: a specific URL on the Snapshots API used to fetch data. Example: GET /locations.
Trigger: an event in Stan that starts a workflow, such as a new or updated location result from the Snapshots API.
Action: an operation Stan performs in response to a trigger, such as mapping fields and updating a dashboard.
Build a live dashboard that refreshes as Snapshots API returns new location data, giving your team instant visibility.
Add a search interface in Stan to query Snapshots API for targeted locations and display results instantly.
Set up triggers so Stan notifies your team when a location is added or updated in Snapshots API.
Obtain your Snapshots API key or OAuth credentials and configure Stan with the appropriate auth method.
Add the Snapshots API endpoints you plan to use (e.g., GET /locations, GET /locations/{location_id}) and map response fields to Stan fields.
Run end-to-end tests to ensure data maps correctly and triggers fire as expected before going live.
Yes. You can access essential location data such as location_id, name, address, city, and coordinates from the Snapshots API when pulling data into Stan. The GET /locations endpoint also supports pagination and filtering to refine results. Use Stan’s mapping features to align API fields with your dashboard schema and ensure consistent data types across records.
The Snapshots API supports API key authentication and OAuth 2.0. Choose the method you prefer and configure it in Stan’s connector settings. Store credentials securely in your environment. Stan can refresh tokens automatically and include the appropriate authorization headers with every request.
Map response fields to Stan by matching API field names with Stan fields. Use data type checks and transformation steps if needed. Start with location_id, name, and coordinates, then expand to additional fields as required. If you need to rename or combine fields, use Stan’s mapper or a lightweight transform step within the app.
Yes. Endpoints like GET /locations support pagination via page and page_size parameters. Stan can request subsequent pages automatically or you can implement a loop in your workflow. Be mindful of API rate limits and implement backoff strategies as needed.
Yes. Create triggers for new or updated locations and configure Stan to alert your team or update dashboards when changes occur. Combine with notifications (Slack, email, or other channels) to stay informed in real time.
No heavy coding is required. Stan’s connectors provide drag-and-drop mapping and configuration. Advanced users can add simple transforms if needed, but most setups work well without scripting. If complex logic is needed, consider a small middleware step or a custom script outside Stan.
Yes. Start with the documented endpoints and experiment with additional endpoints from the Snapshots API as you expand your workflow. Review the API docs for endpoint availability, parameters, and rate limits to plan future growth.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
