title	main checks the last time Deals were retrieved and calls PIPEDRIVEgetRecent for recent Deals to be queued

In main, the LastPollTime is checked and used to call PIPEDRIVEgetRecent for new Deals. If there are any new Deals they are serialized as a string and pushed to the component queue.

Code Block

language	lua

local LastPollTime = COUNTget('LastPollTime')
local NextPollTime = os.time()

-- Retrieve recent deals   
iguana.logInfo('Pulling recent items from '..os.date('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',LastPollTime))
local S, R = P:getRecent{LastPollTime = LastPollTime, items = 'deal', live=true}
if R.data ~= json.NULL then 
  for i=1,#R.data do 
    queue.push{data=json.serialize{data=R.data[i]}}
  end

title	PIPEDRIVEgetRecent prepares the Pipedrive API for PIPEDRIVE custom to get the recent Deals

PIPEDRIVEgetRecent is passed the client object and the table of defined parameters.

PIPEDRIVEgetRecent formats the required endpoint and parameters to call PIPEDRIVEcustom to make the 'recents' API call. If the passed The COUNT Library returns 1 if the field is empty, therefore if the LastPollTime is 1, we set it defaults to poll for deals from the last 24 hours.

If successful, then we check the response for an indication that there are more items to be collected. If true, then PIPEDRIVEgetRecent is recursively called with a new start position to get the additional Deals and insert them into the returned table of DealsIn the case that there are a large number of results, greater than the Pipedrive APIs limit (default ~500), then the Pipedrive API uses pagination to return results in pages with a flag to indicate where there are pages present and an index to the next item on the next page. This information is used to recursively call PIPEDRIVEgetRecent to compile all the results into a single table to be returned.

Code Block

language	lua

local function PIPEDRIVEgetRecent(T, C)   
   local P = {}
   if C.LastPollTime == 1 then 
      C.LastPollTime = os.time()-24*60*60   -- Default to 24 hours ago
   end 
   P.since_timestamp = os.date('!%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',C.LastPollTime)
   P.items = C.items   
   P.start = C.index      
   local S, R = T:custom({api='recents',parameters=P,live=C.live})      
   if S then
      if R.additional_data.pagination.more_items_in_collection then
         C.index = R.additional_data.pagination.next_start
         local NextS, NextPage = PIPEDRIVEgetRecent(T,C)
         for i=1,#NextPage.data do
            table.insert(R.data,NextPage.data[i])
         end 
      end      
   end
   return S, R
end

title	PIPEDRIVEcustom takes in any API request parameters to make a request and return the response

PIPEDRIVEcustom is a helper function designed to handle different API requests with Pipedrive.

It prepares the base Pipedrive URL, authorization details in the header, and any additional parameters to be passed in the URL of the request.

net.http.get{} is used to send the request to Pipedrive. The response is parsed and either the response or error response is returned.

Code Block

language	lua

local function PIPEDRIVEcustom(T, C)
   local Url = "https://"..T.domain..".pipedrive.com/api/v1/"..C.api
   -- Load access key
   if not C.parameters then C.parameters = {} end
   C.parameters.api_token = T.key
   -- Take into account if domain is nil
   if T.domain == '' then 
      error('Missing Pipedrive domain',3) 
   end
   -- Load any path parameters
   if C.pathParams then
      for k,v in pairs(C.pathParams) do 
         Url = Url:gsub('{'..k..'}',v)
      end
   end
   trace(Headers, Url, C.parameters)
   local R, Code = net.http.get{
      url=Url, 
      headers=Headers,
      parameters=C.parameters,
      live=C.live
   }
   if (C.live ~= true) then
      return false, "notlive"
   end
   R = json.parse{data=R}
   if Code ~= 200 then
      return false, R
   else
      return true, R
   end   
end

title	PIPEDRIVEgetDeal gets the Deal by using the provided ID.

PIPEDRIVEgetDeal is another example method of retrieving Deals in Pipedrive, this time querying for a specific Deal according to its ID in Pipedrive. At the end of main we invoke this example:

Code Block

language	lua

-- Get Deal using ID
P:getDeal{id=4, live=true}

PIPEDRIVEgetDeal is passed the client object and the table of defined parameters. Itcalls PIPEDRIVEcustom to with the required endpoint and parameters make the 'deal/{id}' API call.

Here we can also see how the path parameters are passed to PIPEDRIVEcustom. The api endpoint path is passed as deal/{id} with a table of path parameters which is used by PIPEDRIVEcustom to put in deal ID into the api endpoint.

Code Block

language	lua

local function PIPEDRIVEgetDeal(T, C)   
   return T:custom{api='deals/{id}',pathParams = {id=C.id},live=C.live}
end

return PIPEDRIVEgetDeal
