# Setup

## New to Zapier

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects different apps and automate repetitive tasks without coding or relying on developers to build integration.

#### Steps:

* read more about Zapier and [how to use it](https://zapier.com/learn/getting-started-guide/what-is-zapier/)
* sign-up for a [zapier account](https://zapier.com/sign-up/).&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Zapier is a 3rd party that facilitates connecting the Football Prediction API with other apps without coding.&#x20;

The frequency with which your zap runs can affect the number of requests you make to the Football Prediction API.

Depending on your Zapier plan and whether you keep your zaps running for the whole day you will make:

* 15 minutes (default) = 96 requests / day
* 5 minutes = 288 requests / day

*Calculation method: (24 hours \* 60 minutes) / zap run frequency*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Check [our plans](https://market.mashape.com/boggio-analytics/football-prediction/pricing) for daily quotas and extra calls cost.

Our BASIC plan has a quota of 31 calls per month, that means that it should be used to preview what you can do with the API.
