Programmatic Usage

Login with username and password

This example creates a wall post in Hailer, and then removes it after five seconds, and exits.

Create a new nodejs project (npm init) or use an existing. Add hailer-cli as a dependency, using npm install @hailer/cli

mkdir my-hailer-app
cd my-hailer-app
npm init
npm install @hailer/cli

Create a new file run.js and paste the following code (and works with typescript using the import line):

// import { Client } from '@hailer/cli'; // Use with typescript
const { Client } = require('@hailer/cli');

const options = {
    host: 'https://api.hailer.com',
    username: 'set-this',
    password: 'set-this',
};

Client.create(options).then(async (client) => {
    const post = await client.request('wall2.new_post', [{ subject: 'This is a wall post.', text: 'The content of my post' }]);

    console.log('Post created:', post);
    client.disconnect();
});

Set the username and password parameters to a valid Hailer account.

Log in to Hailer using the browser and go to the Feed to see the script in action.

Start the program:

node run.js

Inside async function

// import { Client } from '@hailer/cli';
const { Client } = require('@hailer/cli');

// ...

const options = {
    host: 'https://api.hailer.com',
    username: 'set-this',
    password: 'set-this',
};

const client = await Client.create(options);

const post = await client.request('wall2.new_post', [{ subject: 'This is a wall post.', text: 'The content of my post' }]);

console.log('Post created:', post);

client.disconnect();
