The Odds API Overview#

With The Odds API on Pipedream, you can access a range of bookmakers and exchanges to get live and upcoming sports odds. This integration allows you to create workflows for odds comparison, betting opportunities, or even to power a custom alerting system for when odds reach a certain threshold. The data provided by The Odds API can be used to inform decisions or feed into other apps for enhanced functionality.

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");
