const getLiveFortnite = async () => {
  const res = await fetch(
    'https://api.citoapi.com/api/v1/fortnite/tournaments/live?includeLeaderboard=true',
    { headers: { 'x-api-key': 'pk_demo_cito_live_a06c129e0a9ce1c39c3035bd187541c4' } }

  return res.json();
};

// Send to Discord channel
const data = await getLiveFortnite();
const tournament = data.data?.[0];
await channel.send({
  embeds: [{
    title: tournament?.name ?? 'No live Fortnite event',
    description: tournament
      ? `Top player: ${tournament.leaderboard?.[0]?.displayName ?? 'TBD'}`
