node webfinger

An asynchronous webfinger client for node. It returns an XRD object, given an email address.

Usage

var wf = new webfinger.WebFingerClient();
wf.finger("foo@example.com",
  function(xrdObj) {
    var statusLinks = xrdObj.getLinksByRel("http://schemas.google.com/g/2010#updates-from");
    // do something with statusLinks
  }
);

Example app

From the top level directory of this project, run

$ node webfinger-buzz.js <username>@gmail.com

and the application will output the latest google public Buzz entry from that user.

TODO

Fix up the XRD and Atom parsers. Currently doesn't work on Yahoo's XRD, for example. Error handling.
