Real‑time Alerting and Automated Pipelines with OpenClaw’s Rating API

2. Overview of OpenClaw’s Rating API

The Rating API exposes a RESTful endpoint that emits JSON payloads whenever a rating event is created, updated, or deleted. Key features include:

• Configurable webhook URLs per project.
• Support for HTTP POST with custom headers for authentication.
• Optional batch mode for high‑throughput scenarios.
• Built‑in retry logic with exponential back‑off.

Because the API is hosted on UBOS, you can combine it with other UBOS services such as the Workflow automation studio or the Web app editor on UBOS to create end‑to‑end solutions without writing boilerplate code.

6. Integrating with BI Tools for Live Monitoring

Once rating events flow through a queue, you can consume them in real time and push the results into a time‑series database (e.g., InfluxDB) or directly into a BI connector.

6.1 Power BI

Power BI supports streaming datasets via its REST API. A simple Node.js consumer can forward each rating to Power BI as follows:

const axios = require('axios');
const amqp = require('amqplib');

(async () => {
  const conn = await amqp.connect('amqp://localhost');
  const ch = await conn.createChannel();
  await ch.assertExchange('ratings', 'fanout', { durable: true });
  const q = await ch.assertQueue('', { exclusive: true });
  ch.bindQueue(q.queue, 'ratings', '');

  ch.consume(q.queue, async msg => {
    const rating = JSON.parse(msg.content.toString());
    await axios.post(
      'https://api.powerbi.com/beta/yourWorkspace/datasets/yourDataset/rows?key=YOUR_KEY',
      { rows: [rating] }
    );
    console.log('Sent rating to Power BI');
  }, { noAck: true });
})();

6.2 Grafana

Grafana can visualize data from InfluxDB or Prometheus. Use a lightweight consumer that writes each rating to InfluxDB:

const { InfluxDB, Point } = require('@influxdata/influxdb-client');
const amqp = require('amqplib');

const influx = new InfluxDB({ url: 'http://localhost:8086', token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const writeApi = influx.getWriteApi('my-org', 'ratings_bucket');

(async () => {
  const conn = await amqp.connect('amqp://localhost');
  const ch = await conn.createChannel();
  await ch.assertExchange('ratings', 'fanout', { durable: true });
  const q = await ch.assertQueue('', { exclusive: true });
  ch.bindQueue(q.queue, 'ratings', '');

  ch.consume(q.queue, msg => {
    const rating = JSON.parse(msg.content.toString());
    const point = new Point('rating')
      .floatField('score', rating.score)
      .tag('user_id', rating.user_id);
    writeApi.writePoint(point);
    console.log('Written rating to InfluxDB');
  }, { noAck: true });
})();

Grafana dashboards can then query the ratings measurement to display live charts, heatmaps, and anomaly alerts.

6.3 Tableau

Tableau’s Hyper API lets you append rows to a .hyper file on the fly. Pair it with a Kafka consumer to keep a Tableau extract fresh:

from tableauhyperapi import HyperProcess, Connection, TableDefinition, Inserter
from confluent_kafka import Consumer

consumer = Consumer({
    'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092',
    'group.id': 'tableau-group',
    'auto.offset.reset': 'earliest'
})
consumer.subscribe(['rating_events'])

with HyperProcess() as hyper:
    with Connection(endpoint=hyper.endpoint, database='ratings.hyper', create_mode=True) as connection:
        rating_table = TableDefinition(
            table_name='public.rating',
            columns=[
                ('rating_id', SqlType.text()),
                ('user_id', SqlType.text()),
                ('score', SqlType.double()),
                ('comment', SqlType.text()),
                ('timestamp', SqlType.timestamp())
            ]
        )
        connection.catalog.create_table(rating_table)

        while True:
            msg = consumer.poll(1.0)
            if msg is None:
                continue
            data = eval(msg.value().decode('utf-8'))
            with Inserter(connection, rating_table) as inserter:
                inserter.add_row([data['rating_id'], data['user_id'], data['score'],
                                  data['comment'], data['timestamp']])
                inserter.execute()

After the Hyper file is updated, Tableau Server can refresh the data source automatically, giving analysts a near‑real‑time view of rating trends.
