Node client for Usabilla API

CircleCI Coverage Status

The Usabilla API Client for Node.js provides access to the Usabilla database from Node.js applications.

The client has the following features:

  • Getting the buttons / campaigns / widgets / forms as well as the feedback they contain.
  • Querying over the feedback with different parameters.

Authentication

The client uses extensive authentication based on a request signing process. For more information, please see our developers guide.

Getting started

Install node client through npm

$ npm install usabilla-api --save

Usage

An example that displays the number of buttons:

const Usabilla = require('usabilla-api');
const usabilla = new Usabilla('YOUR-ACCESS-KEY', 'YOUR-SECRET-KEY');

usabilla.websites.buttons.get().then((buttons) => {
  console.log('Number of buttons: ', buttons.length);
}).catch((reason) => {
  console.error(reason);
});

See the code in the example folder for more advanced ideas on how to use the client.

Configuration

The client can be configured during instantiation with the following options:

  • protocol (default: https) - The protocol to use when making requests, this will also configure the type of node http client either http or https
  • host (default: data.usabilla.com) - The host to use when making requests
  • port (default: null) - The port to use when making requests
  • iterator (default: true) - Whether to iterate until all results are retrieved

const options = {
  protocol: 'http',
  host: 'proxy-host',
  port: 'proxy-port'
}
const usabilla = new Usabilla('YOUR-ACCESS-KEY', 'YOUR-SECRET-KEY', options);
