Sports data

What is the best way to extract data for sports, lets use boxing for example. How do you build a workflow that extracts data on fighter stats, upcoming fights, records, judges scorecards, etc., plugging to the frontend of your app? Thank you

Creating a workflow to extract and integrate sports data, specifically for boxing, into your app involves several steps. Unfortunately, there weren't any specific templates available for sports data within the BuildShip collection, and no pre-built nodes specifically designed for sports data like boxing within the Node database. However, I can guide you on how to design a customized workflow: 1. Data Source Integration: You need to identify and integrate reliable data sources for boxing statistics. This can include sports APIs like ESPN API, SportRadar, etc. You can use REST API nodes in BuildShip to fetch data from these sources. 2. Data Extraction Logic: - Use BuildShip's REST API nodes to connect to the sports APIs. - Configure the nodes to fetch specific data such as fighter stats, upcoming fights, records, and judges' scorecards. 3. Data Processing: - Utilize logic nodes to parse and process the fetched data as needed for your app. You might need to format the data to suit your frontend requirements. 4. Database Interaction: - If needed, store the fetched data in a database for easier access and manipulation. You can use BuildShip’s Supabase or Firebase nodes for this purpose. 5. Frontend Integration: - Use API endpoints created by your workflow to serve data to your frontend application. Make sure these endpoints are correctly integrated with the frontend to display the data dynamically.
6. Testing and Deployment: - Test your workflow to ensure all components are functioning as expected. - Once verified, ship your workflow for production use. Since there are no specific pre-built templates for sports data in boxing, you may need to set up these steps manually using the available nodes in BuildShip. For further customization or assistance, you can reach out to BuildShip via in-app support.

What if there isn’t an api that doesn't provide certain things you want towards your app. What are ways you can extract reliable data?
