SeekWell API

You can automatically trigger any block to run by sending a request to "https://api.seekwell.io/run_one" along with your Block ID, an API key, and optional parameters.

Steps:

  1. Open the web app and type command / control + k, then type “API”. Select Create API key to generate an API key.

  2. Go to the block that you would like to trigger programmatically, and copy the Block ID from the URL. As shown below, the Block ID appears after the url https://app.seekwell.io/run/.

    Find SeekWell Block ID

  3. Post a request to "https://api.seekwell.io/run_one" with your Block ID, API Key, and optional parameters. In this example, we use the Python Requests HTTP library).

    import requests

data = {
            'blockId': 'long_id_from_url_in_step_2',
            'api_key': 'api_key_from_step_1',
						'parameters': [] #optional array of parameters
        }
url = 'https://api.seekwell.io/run_one'
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
print(response.ok)

  4. (Optional) If the block you are triggering has Parameters, you can set those parameters in your request JSON. In the example below, we send user data to a Google Sheet based on the channel through which the user signed up (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).

    The "parameters" in your request JSON should be an array of dictionaries containing the name-value pairs of each of the Parameters you want to set, as in the code below.

    data = {
            'blockId': long_id_from_url_in_step_2,
            'api_key': api_key_from_step_1,
						'parameters': [{'name':'channel','value':'facebook'}]
        }
url = 'https://api.seekwell.io/run_one'
response = requests.post(url, json=data)

Use Case: Setting up a Zap

You can set up Zapier to trigger a block to run by using the SeekWell API as a webhook.

Steps:

  1. Make a new Zap and create the App Event or schedule you want to trigger your SeekWell Block to run.

  2. Make an Action and choose "Webhooks" as your App and "Post" as your Action Event.

  3. Enter the SeekWell API URL along with the required data fields.

  4. Your block should then run whenever the Zap is triggered.
