Brainy Integrations

Connect Brainy to spreadsheets, BI tools, and external systems with zero configuration.

Quick Start

import { Brainy } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

const brain = new Brainy({ integrations: true })
await brain.init()

// That's it! Your endpoints are ready:
console.log(brain.hub.endpoints)
// { odata: '/odata', sheets: '/sheets', sse: '/events', webhooks: '/webhooks' }

Supported Tools

Tool	Protocol	How to Connect
Excel	OData	Data → Get Data → From OData Feed → http://your-server/odata
Power BI	OData	Get Data → OData Feed → http://your-server/odata
Tableau	OData	Connect → OData → http://your-server/odata
Google Sheets	REST	Install Apps Script add-on (see below)
Any SSE Client	SSE	new EventSource('http://your-server/events')

Google Sheets

Setup (5 minutes):

1. Open your Google Sheet
2. Extensions → Apps Script
3. Delete existing code
4. Copy integrations/google-sheets/Code.gs into the editor
5. Create new file Sidebar.html, paste from integrations/google-sheets/Sidebar.html
6. Project Settings → Script properties → Add:
   • BRAINY_URL = http://your-server
7. Save and refresh spreadsheet

Custom Functions:

=BRAINY_QUERY("type:person", 100)     // Query entities
=BRAINY_GET("entity-id")               // Get one entity
=BRAINY_SIMILAR("machine learning", 5) // Semantic search
=BRAINY_RELATIONS("entity-id", "from") // Get relationships

Sidebar:

Extensions → Brainy → Open Sidebar

• Search and insert results
• Add new entities
• Sync selected range to Brainy

---

Real-Time Streaming (SSE)

JavaScript:

const source = new EventSource('http://your-server/events')

source.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data)
  console.log('Change:', data)
}

// Filter by type
const filtered = new EventSource('http://your-server/events?types=noun&operations=create,update')

Query Parameters:

• types - Entity types: noun, verb, vfs
• operations - Operations: create, update, delete
• nounTypes - Filter by noun type: person, document, etc.

Webhooks

Push events to external URLs:

const brain = new Brainy({ integrations: true })
await brain.init()

// Register a webhook
await brain.hub.webhooks?.register({
  url: 'https://your-app.com/webhook',
  events: { entityTypes: ['noun'], operations: ['create', 'update'] },
  secret: 'your-hmac-secret'  // optional, for signature verification
})

Webhook Payload:

{
  "events": [
    {
      "id": "event-123",
      "type": "noun",
      "operation": "create",
      "entityId": "entity-456",
      "timestamp": 1704067200000
    }
  ],
  "deliveredAt": 1704067201000
}

Signature Verification:

Webhooks include X-Brainy-Signature header with HMAC-SHA256 signature.

Server Examples

Minimal (in-memory):

import { Brainy } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

const brain = new Brainy({ integrations: true })
await brain.init()

// Add some data
await brain.add({ type: 'Person', metadata: { name: 'Alice' } })

// Get connection instructions
console.log(brain.hub.getInstructions())

Express:

import express from 'express'
import { Brainy } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

const app = express()
const brain = new Brainy({
  storage: { type: 'filesystem', options: { basePath: './data' } },
  integrations: true
})
await brain.init()

app.use(express.json())

// Route all integrations
app.all(['/odata/*', '/sheets/*', '/events/*'], async (req, res) => {
  const response = await brain.hub.handleRequest({
    method: req.method,
    path: req.path,
    query: req.query as Record<string, string>,
    headers: req.headers as Record<string, string>,
    body: req.body
  })

  res.status(response.status).set(response.headers)
  if (response.body) res.json(response.body)
  else res.end()
})

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Brainy server ready!')
  console.log('Excel/Power BI: http://localhost:3000/odata')
  console.log('Google Sheets: http://localhost:3000/sheets')
  console.log('SSE Stream: http://localhost:3000/events')
})

Hono (Cloudflare Workers):

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { Brainy } from '@soulcraftlabs/brainy'

const app = new Hono()

const brain = new Brainy({
  storage: { type: 'memory' },
  integrations: true
})
await brain.init()

app.all('/odata/*', async (c) => {
  const response = await brain.hub.handleRequest({
    method: c.req.method,
    path: c.req.path,
    query: Object.fromEntries(new URL(c.req.url).searchParams),
    headers: Object.fromEntries(c.req.raw.headers),
    body: await c.req.json().catch(() => undefined)
  })
  return c.json(response.body, response.status)
})

export default app

Configuration

Custom Base Path:

const brain = new Brainy({
  integrations: { basePath: '/api/v1' }
})
await brain.init()

// Endpoints become:
// /api/v1/odata
// /api/v1/sheets
// /api/v1/events

Select Integrations:

// Only OData and Sheets
const brain = new Brainy({
  integrations: { enable: ['odata', 'sheets'] }
})
await brain.init()

Per-Integration Config:

const brain = new Brainy({
  integrations: {
    config: {
      odata: { basePath: '/data' },
      sse: { heartbeatInterval: 15000 }
    }
  }
})
await brain.init()

---

Troubleshooting

Excel: "Can't connect to OData feed"

• Ensure server is running and accessible
• Check firewall settings
• Try opening URL in browser first

Google Sheets: "Brainy URL not configured"

• Add BRAINY_URL in Apps Script → Project Settings → Script properties

Power BI: "Invalid OData"

• Ensure $metadata endpoint returns valid XML
• Try: http://your-server/odata/$metadata

SSE: "Connection dropped"

• Check network/proxy timeout settings
• The integration sends heartbeats every 30 seconds by default
