Sun Position API + Discord Integration

Why connect them

The Sun Position API in Discord.

Discord powers communities worldwide with real-time communication. Connecting APIs to Discord enables automated notifications, bot-powered data lookups, and intelligent alerts. Keep your community informed with timely, relevant information.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Post automated alerts when cryptocurrency prices hit certain thresholds

Create a bot that looks up weather data when users request it

Send notifications when new content is published on monitored websites

Alert moderators when potentially problematic content is detected

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

Scheduled hourly Get sun position → post message

Post sun position updates to astronomy channel

Post the current sun altitude and azimuth to your astronomy Discord channel so members can plan observations.

New message with command Parse coordinates → get sun position → reply

Sun position bot command

Let users request sun altitude and azimuth for any coordinates via a bot command in your Discord server.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Discord as the trigger app and "New message" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Sun Position API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Discord action for "Send message" and map the returned fields (like date) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Discord module set to "New message". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/sunposition with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Discord module for "Send message". Map fields like data.date into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Discord trigger node for "New message" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/sunposition using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Discord node for "Send message" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.date }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
