Apidaze Node.js SDK

Apidaze Node.js SDK contains a client for Apidaze REST API as well as an XML script builder. The SDK allows you to leverage all Apidaze platform features such as making calls, sending text messages, serving IVR systems, and many others in your application. The SDK also includes examples that demonstrate how to use the SDK.

Supported Node.js Versions

• Node.js 10
• Node.js 12

Installation

To install Apidaze Node.JS SDK as a dependency from the current master branch, type the following;

npm install apidaze/sdk-node

Quickstart

Instantiation

First, we need to instantiate an Apidaze client;

const { Apidaze } = require('apidaze');

const client = new Apidaze('API_KEY', 'API_SECRET');

The first and the second argument in Apidaze class must be replaced with the real ones from your Apidaze application.

Update the external script

If one needs to update an Apidaze application's external script URL, the following snippet may be used;

const response = await client.externalScripts.update('script_id', {
    url: 'https://example.com/script',
});

Send an SMS

const destination = '14125423968';
const origin = '14125423968';
const message = 'Hello world!';

const response = await ApidazeClient.messages.send(origin, destination, message);

Place a call

const callerId = '14125423968';
const origin = '1234567890';
const destination = '1234567890';
const type = 'number';

const response = await ApidazeClient.calls.make({
  callerId,
  destination,
  origin,
  type
});

Script builder

The script builder is used to build XML instructions described in the XML Scripting Reference. To build an instruction which echo back received audio to the caller with some delay use the following code.

const { ScriptBuilder, ScriptNodes } = require('apidaze');
const { Answer, Speak, Echo } = ScriptNodes;

const script = new ScriptBuilder();

const answer = new Answer();
const speak = new Speak('Thank you for trying our demo. Have an wonderful day!');
const echo = new Echo(500);

const xmlDocument = script
  .add(answer)
  .add(speak)
  .add(echo)
  .toString();

The code above will produce the following XML;

<document>
  <work>
    <answer>
    </answer>
    <speak>Thank you for trying our demo. Have an wonderful day!</speak>
    <echo>500</echo>
  </work>
</document>

Extending the HTTP agent

The SDK is using got for HTTP requests. To benefit from got's capabilities, one may use the following function signature;

const options = {
  requestOptions: {}
};
const client = new Apidaze('API_KEY', 'API_SECRET', options);

options.requestOptions represents the options that would be passed to got instance. So, for further information, got's documentation may be checked.

More examples

Check out examples in JavaScript for possible implementations and quick demonstrations. For the examples, one may benefit from dotenv to have a smoother experience in usage.

Testing

All tests can be run with the following command;

npm test

If a coverage report is desired, the following command would be suitable;

npm run test:coverage

To run specific test files, run npm test with a JavaScript regular expression matching the file names, like;

npm test ./test/rest/M*
