parcelLab webhook to CSV file

Receives parcelLab webhooks and writes them to a CSV

Get help at support@parcellab.com

What it does

It receives parcelLab webhooks (or actually any webhook) and transforms any received JSON payload to CSV files. It writes a new file approx every 30 seconds. The generated CSV will have headings in the order of the keys of the received payloads.

You can set different URL query parameters to change the behaviour:

• ?id=: where to store files, defaults to default
• &prefix=: a prefix for all CSV file names
• &headers=: sets whether CSV has header row and can be true or false, defaults to true
• &delimiter=: delimiter to use in CSV, defaults to ;
• &quote=: quote char to use for CSV, defaults to "
• &token=: the token as specified in .env (required)

Example

Running a POST request against this service:

http://localhost:8080/webhook/?id=someid&prefix=webhook&headers=true&delimiter=|&token=some-token

With this body:

{
	"test": "okay",
	"anothertest": "notokay"
}

Will generate a local file named ./someid/webhook_<timestamp>.csv with these contents:

test;anothertest
okay;notokay

Setup

Just git clone this repo, then cd webhook-to-csv and install dependecies with npm i.

You'll need a reverse proxy pointing to localhost:8080 and probably something to keep the app alive, like PM2.
