The RAWG Video Games Database API is a treasure trove for gaming enthusiasts and developers, offering access to a massive collection of video game data. With it, you can pull information such as game titles, ratings, platforms, and release dates. This data can power up apps or websites with rich content or be used to analyze gaming trends. Through Pipedream, you can automate data collection, trigger events based on new or updated game releases, and integrate with other services for notifications or data enrichment.

Adding Google Calendar to Your Jamstack - with Pipedream

Late last year (remember last year - sigh) I wrote up a post demonstrating how to integrate Google Calendar into your static web site: "Adding Google Calendar to your JAMStack". In that article, I describe how I used Google's Node libraries to read my event data. While it was mostly painless, authentication was a bit difficult to figure out. A few days I was thinking about this usecase and realized I could probably do it a lot easier making use of Pipedream. How so? Don't forget that Nelify lets you create a build hook. This is a unique URL that when hit with a POST request will trigger a new build. In theory, all I have to do is create a Pipedream workflow that's fired on new events. How is that done?
