Orvyn in Zapier

A Zap that reads the number on a schedule and passes it on, step by step, for someone who has never installed anything.

Takes
About 5 minutes
You need
  • A Zapier account on a plan that includes Webhooks by Zapier, one of its premium apps
  • Nothing to pay Orvyn: the free number needs no key
Costs
Nothing for the free number, which runs a little behind. The signed, newest number takes a pack bought on the feed’s page; every guide ends with how.

First, pick the number you want

Every line further down is then written for it, ready to copy.

Or one of these:

You picked

EUR / USD, ECB reference rate

by Orvyn · changes every day · its page

Its address, which the lines below carry:orvyn/eur-usd-ecb-reference

The free number right now

1.1411

measured · runs 15 minutes behind

Then follow the steps

A Zap can read EUR / USD, ECB reference rate today with Webhooks by Zapier, one of Zapier’s premium apps, and pass the number to any of its other apps. The Orvyn app for Zapier, which does it with no formula step, reaches you by invite link once it is up; this page will say so.

  1. Start a Zap on a schedule

    Create › Zaps. For the trigger pick Schedule by Zapier and the event that matches every day, which is how often this feed changes.

  2. Ask Orvyn for the number

    For the action pick Webhooks by Zapier, event GET. Put this in URL, leave Query String Params empty, and set Unflatten to yes. Press Test step.

    Webhooks by Zapier, URL
    https://orvyn.me/gw/v1/feeds/orvyn/eur-usd-ecb-reference/preview

    You should see: The test shows Preview Value, a whole number, and Decimals, which is 4 for this feed.

  3. Turn it into a plain number

    Add an action: Formatter by Zapier › Numbers › Spreadsheet-Style Formula. In the formula field type =, insert Preview Value from the webhook step, type /10^, and insert Decimals. Test it.

    You should see: The formatter’s output is 1.1411.

  4. Send it somewhere

    Add the last action, any app: an email, a Slack message, a row in a sheet. Use the formatter’s output in it. Then Publish the Zap.

The Orvyn app for Zapier

When it is available, its New Report trigger starts a Zap once per new report with the number, its unit and a proof link ready made, and Find Feed looks feeds up by words. Zapier apps reach users through Zapier alone: ours goes up as a private app first, shared by invite link from this page, then public after Zapier’s review.

Want the signed number instead?

What you set up above shows the free number. It runs 15 minutes behind and is not signed, which is fine for a dashboard. The signed number is the newest one, and it comes with a proof anyone can check on the check page or on chain. It costs a little: you buy a pack of reads once, with your wallet, then a key spends from that pack. Three steps, in this order.

  1. 1

    Buy a pack on the feed’s page. The smallest is enough to start; a pack is a number of reads, and the page says what each costs.

  2. 2

    Make a key with the wallet that bought the pack. Sign in here and it is made for you, or make one under Dashboard, API keys, with the read scope only. A read key can spend the reads you bought and nothing more, and you revoke it there.

  3. 3

    Put the key in Zapier. In the webhook step, change the end of the URL from /preview to /latest, and under Headers add one named Authorization with the value Bearer lk_…. The answer then carries Report Value instead of Preview Value; use that in the formatter. With the Orvyn app you paste the key once when connecting it.

No tool holds a wallet or pays by itself. However often a sheet recalculates or a workflow runs, a feed is read from your pack at most once every day, because that is how often it changes.

If something looks wrong
