With so many APIs available this day and age, the possibilities are seemingly endless when it comes to what you can tap into with a Raspberry Pi. From using AI to power your creations with ChatGPT to using Amazon’s API to create a custom Alexa device, there’s just so much you can use. Today, we’ve got an awesome project to share created by Clayton from Design Build Make who’s using an API to pull baseball scores for a custom desktop scoreboard that tracks his favorite team—the Cardinals.
According to Clayton, the idea for the project came to him after he got tired of regularly checking his phone for scores. To resolve that problem, he decided to build a scoreboard that automatically updates in real-time with score data. It looks like an old-school scoreboard you’d find on a baseball field but this one is much smaller and fits on your desk.
