Use the Crunchbase Connector
Add the crunchbase connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the crunchbase API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton")
module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
const crunchbase = this.connector(
'crunchbase',
'connector-id')
const response = yield crunchbase.get('path_to_API')
const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
yield crunchbase.post('path_to_API', params)
})The Zenaton Engine
We handle the complexity of orchestrating Crunchbase API calls and related logic in your code.
Out of the Box API Call
Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.
Automatic Retries & Alerting
If your Crunchbase API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed Crunchbase API calls.
Integrate Crunchbase into your application logic
The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the Crunchbase API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.
// The Zenaton engine orchestrates crunchbase API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// crunchbase authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("ParallelWorkflow", function* () {
const crunchbase = this.connector(
'crunchbase',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// execute parallel tasks handled automatically by the Zenaton engine
const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
if (a > b) {
const response = yield crunchbase.get('path_to_API');
} else {
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
}
});
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// crunchbase authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("AsynchronousWorkflow", function* () {
const crunchbase = this.connector(
'crunchbase',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
this.run.task('TaskA');
this.crunchbase.post('path_to_API');
yield run.task('TaskB');
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
});
// Tasks can be automatically (or manually) retried and executions are displayed in real-time on the Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
// crunchbase authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("WaitWorkflow", function* () {
const crunchbase = this.connector(
'crunchbase',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
// The 'wait function is managed by the Zenaton engine and will be executed on your worker at the right time.
yield this.wait.for(duration.days(7));
yield crunchbase.get('path_to_API');
});
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
const crunchbase = this.connector(
'crunchbase',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
if (event) {
// If event has been triggered within 24 hours
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
} else {
// else calls crunchbase API
yield crunchbase.get('path_to_API');
}
}
});
