Sun Position API + Dropbox Integration

Why connect them

The Sun Position API in Dropbox.

Dropbox simplifies file storage and sharing for teams. Connecting APIs to Dropbox enables automated file processing, intelligent organization, and seamless data extraction. Build powerful file-based workflows without manual intervention.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Process uploaded receipts through OCR APIs and extract expense data

Automatically convert uploaded images to different formats

Generate reports from API data and distribute via shared Dropbox folders

Create automated photo organization based on image analysis APIs

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

Scheduled daily Get sun position → save to Dropbox

Archive daily sun position data

Fetch the sun's altitude and azimuth daily and archive the data as a file in a designated Dropbox folder.

New file added to folder Parse file → get sun position → save report

Generate sun reports from coordinate files

When a coordinate list is added to Dropbox, look up sun altitude and azimuth for each and save a results report.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Dropbox as the trigger app and "New file" 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 Dropbox action for "Upload file" 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 Dropbox module set to "New file". 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 Dropbox module for "Upload file". 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 Dropbox trigger node for "New file" 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 Dropbox node for "Upload file" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.date }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
