Overview#
The MobyGames API provides access to a vast database of video game information, including titles, platforms, release dates, and more. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to create powerful integrations and automated workflows. You might fetch game data to curate personalized game recommendations, sync release information with your calendar, or compile game statistics for analysis.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mobygames: {
type: "app",
app: "mobygames",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.mobygames.com/v1/games`,
params: {
api_key: `${this.mobygames.$auth.api_key}`,
},

Example Use Cases#
Game Release Calendar Integration: Pipedream can automate the process of adding upcoming game releases to your Google Calendar. By fetching new release data from MobyGames and using the Google Calendar API, you can keep your calendar updated with the latest game launch dates.
Personalized Game Recommendation Engine: Build a workflow that takes user preferences from a Typeform survey, queries the MobyGames API for matching games, and then emails the recommendations via SendGrid. This can be a personalized weekly gaming newsletter based on their interests.
Game Launch Notification Service: Use Pipedream to monitor MobyGames for new game releases and send notifications through Slack when a game matching certain criteria (like genre or platform) is released. This keeps a gaming community informed about the latest titles relevant to their interests.
