integration.saveSignals

A resource save method that create or update signals using an input key that's unique in combination with an integration ID. If no signal with a given key exists for the integration, it's automatically created. The input is made available on each signal as a read-only attribute. An integration can only interact with it's own signals using this call.

Method parameters

Parameter	Properties	Description
integration Integration ID	required	The integration to save signals for.
signalsByInput [alias: input] map(Input key => Item save view)	required	Map of input keys to signal meta-data.
createOnly bool	default=false	If set to true, skip update of for existing signals.

Result

The result contain a map that links each input key in the request to a signal save summary, which include a globally unique signal ID.

type: object

Field	Description
signalsByInput map(Input key => Save summary)	Save summary for signals mapped by signal ID.

Billing

Typically plans restrict the number of signals.

Exceeding the limitations allowed by your plan may result in additional charges.

Example

cURL

The curl example uses Basic Auth for simplicity.

# BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=<Username from Basic Auth credentials>
# BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=<Password from Basic Auth credentials>
# INTEGRATION_ID=${BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME}
curl -u ${BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME}:${BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD} \
  --request POST \
  --url 'https://api.clarify.io/v1/rpc' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-API-Version: 1.1beta2' \
  --data '
