A javascript client for the PieceMeta API (Node & Browser)
Both implementations only differ in the setup procedure. Other than that they work identically. (Side note: progress is not yet implemented in the node version.)
var apiConfig = {
host: 'http://localhost:8080',
contentType: 'application/json',
api_key: YOUR_PIECEMETA_API_KEY, # optional if only anonymous requests
access_token: YOUR_PIECEMETA_ACCESS_TOKEN # optional if only anonymous requests
};
var apiClient = require('piecemeta-apiclient')(apiConfig);To use the client in the browser, include either dist/piecemeta-apiclient.web.js or dist/piecemeta-apiclient.web.min.js.
var apiConfig = {
host: host ? host : PIECEMETA_API_HOST,
contentType: 'application/json',
api_key: YOUR_PIECEMETA_API_KEY, // optional if only anonymous requests
access_token: YOUR_PIECEMETA_ACCESS_TOKEN // optional if only anonymous requests
};
var apiClient = PMApi(apiConfig);To make a request use a function call like this:
apiClient.resource('packages').action(
'get', // HTTP method
null, // optional payload object
function (err, result) {
console.log('api response handler', err, result);
},
function (bytesLoaded, bytesTotal) {
console.log('progress handler', bytesLoaded, bytesTotal);
}
);Nested resources can be accessed by using a resource name like packages/PACKAGE_UUID/streams.
To receive an Access Token from the API server:
apiClient.getToken({ email: login, password: password }, function (err, token) {
if (err) {
console.log('access token error', err);
} else {
// You might want to store the token to use it later instead of the email/pass combo
apiClient.setToken(token);
}
});If you have a token you can fetch your api credentials and make authenticated requests after that:
apiClient.getCredentials(function (err, credentials) {
console.log('credentials response', err, credentials);
});
