Confection Overview#

Confection API provides a robust solution for collecting, managing, and utilizing user data in compliance with privacy regulations. It helps businesses capture data lost due to ad blockers and privacy tech, ensuring you don't miss out on valuable insights. With Pipedream, you can harness this data in real-time, triggering actions, analyzing trends, or integrating with other services for a comprehensive data strategy.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Action Code#

const swapi = require("../../swapi.app.js");
const axios = require("axios");

module.exports = {
  key: "swapi-get-film",
  name: "Get Film",

  description: "Get a film",

  },
  async run() {
    return (await axios({
      url: `https://swapi.dev/api/films/${this.film}`,
    })).data;
  },
};
