Automating Betting Data Retrieval with TheOddsAPI and Airtable
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the retrieval of sports event data and match results, synchronizing updates directly to an Airtable base. It supports user-defined time triggers (defaulting to 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM), automatically pulling event information and scores for specified sports (default is ice hockey) from TheOddsAPI. The latest data is merged and updated to ensure real-time accuracy and completeness.
Core Problems Addressed
- Manual collection and maintenance of sports event and score data is labor-intensive, error-prone, and inefficient.
- Event data and results are scattered, making unified management and viewing difficult.
- Real-time data updates and synchronization are needed to facilitate subsequent analysis and decision-making.
Use Cases
- Management and analysis of sports betting data.
- Real-time sports event information update platforms.
- Scenarios requiring integration of event data and scores for business processes, such as prediction apps, data analytics, and report generation.
- Operations teams automating monitoring and management of sports event-related data.
Main Workflow Steps
- Scheduled Trigger: Two Schedule Trigger nodes initiate the workflow daily at 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM respectively.
- Fetch Event Information: At 7:00 AM, an HTTP Request node pulls upcoming ice hockey event data for the day from TheOddsAPI.
- Create Event Records: The retrieved event data is written into Airtable, generating new event records.
- Fetch Match Results: At 11:00 PM, another HTTP Request node retrieves final scores and results for the day’s matches from TheOddsAPI.
- Merge Data: A Merge node combines the day’s event information and match results based on event IDs.
- Update Event Records: The merged scores and results are updated back into the corresponding Airtable event records to keep data current.
Systems and Services Involved
- TheOddsAPI: API service for obtaining sports events and match results.
- Airtable: Platform for storing and managing event data.
- n8n Schedule Trigger: Enables timed automatic workflow execution.
- HTTP Request Node: Calls external APIs to fetch data.
- Merge Node: Handles data integration and matching.
