UE Streams Example: General API to Stream Publishing

To use this example you will need to sign up for free with United Effects and register a platform for your Company

Configure

This is a template/example you can use as a recipe to set up a service which periodically polls a given API and then sends that data to UE Streams.

To get started, proceed as follows:

• Create a subject in UE Streams that ends with a wildcard (e.g., 'example.>')
• Create a stream in UE Streams and associate that subject
• Request publish access to the stream and make note of the values provided
• Copy .env.update to .env
• Update the data in .env from your publish access values
• Define an event label and update .env UE_STREAMS_EVENT_LABEL (e.g., 'twitter-data', 'user-data', 'sales-transactions', etc.)
• Choose an API you wish to integrate to and enter both the API URI and an API KEY in the .env values for EXTERNAL_API and EXTERNAL_API_TOKEN
• Update the code in index.ts function callAPI to account for your specific API call and response
