Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Fomo	`fomo`	`app`	This component uses the Fomo app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

Fomo uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Fomo account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Fomo APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your Fomo API token,
* Navigate to your Fomo account and sign in
* Go to “Sites”
* Select a Site
* Go to “Settings” > “Auth Token”

About Fomo#

Fomo delivers social proof to create website conversion momentum. The Fomo app does this by enabling online experience that feels like a busy store. When a person converts -- whether buying a new jacket, signing up for a retreat, or anything else -- Fomo shows this activity off to other visitors to drive action.

SWAPI - Star Wars Overview#

The SWAPI (Star Wars API) provides a wealth of data about the Star Wars
universe to build applications. With the SWAPI, developers can access detailed
Star Wars related data about people, planets, films, species and much more.
From web and mobile applications to data analysis, the possibilities are
limitless.

Here are a few examples of what developers can build using the SWAPI:

Create a Star Wars encyclopedia to document the Star Wars universe and its
characters.
Design a custom interactive map to explore the planets of the Star Wars
universe.
Analyze the data to uncover patterns and insights about Star Wars films,
characters, and species.
Design a search engine to query Star Wars related data.
Create a mobile app that displays information about the characters, films and
species in the Star Wars universe.
Design a live score system specialized in providing stats related to the Star
Wars films and characters.

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