Orbit Activities Helper Library for Node.js

Orbit API helper library for Node.js. This client can create, read, update and delete activities in your Orbit workspace.

Installation

npm install @orbit-love/activities

Constructor

const OrbitActivities = require('@orbit-love/activities')
const orbitActivities = new OrbitActivities(orbitWorkspaceId, orbitApiKey)

• orbitWorkspaceId - The part of your Orbit workspace URL that immediately follows the app.orbit.love. For example, if the URL was https://app.orbit.love/my-workspace, then your Orbit workspace ID is my-workspace.
• orbitApiKey - This can be found in you Orbit Account Settings.

Initializing with environment variables

If you have the environment variables ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID and ORBIT_API_KEY set, you can initialize the client like so:

const OrbitActivities = require('@orbit-love/activities')
const orbitActivities = new OrbitActivities()

If you have environment variables set and also pass in values, the passed in values will be used.

Rate Limits & Page Sizes

• Information about Orbit API Rate Limiting
• For list methods, you can ask request a number of results per request between 1 and 100.

Activity Methods

const options = {
    page: 1,
    items: 50,
    company: 'ACME Corp'
}

orbitActivities.listWorkspaceActivities(options).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

options is not a required parameter, but can be any query parameter shown in our API reference.

List activities for a workspace API reference.

const memberId = 'janesmith04'

const options = {
    page: 1,
    items: 50
}

orbitActivities.listMemberActivities(memberId, options).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

options is not a required parameter, but can be any query parameter shown in our API reference.

List activities for a member API reference.

const activityType = 'issued:opened'

orbitActivities.getLatestActivityTimestamp(activityType).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

Will return the timestamp of the latest activity with the provided type, or null if there are none.

const activityId = '1234536'

orbitActivities.getActivity(activityId).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

Get an activity in the workspace API reference.

If you know the memberId for the member you want to add the activity to:

const memberId = 'janesmith04'

const data = {
    activity_type: 'starfleet:signup',
    title: "New Planet Signed Up for Starfleet",
    description: "Klingon has joined Starfleet via Twitter",
    member: {
        tshirt: 'XL',
        twitter: 'qunnoq'
    }
}

orbitActivities.createActivity(memberId, data).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

data should match the body params as shown in the Create a post activity for a member API reference.

If you know one or more identities of the member (github, email, twitter, etc.) but not their Orbit ID:

const data = {
    activity_type: 'starfleet:signup',
    title: "New Planet Signed Up for Starfleet",
    description: "Klingon has joined Starfleet via Twitter",
    member: {
        tshirt: 'XL',
        twitter: 'qunnoq'
    }
}

orbitActivities.createActivity(data).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

data should match the body params as shown in the Create an activity for a new or existing member API reference.

const memberId = 'janesmith04'
const activityId = '1234356'
const data: {
    description: 'New description'
}

orbitActivities.updateActivity(memberId, activityId, data).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

data should match the body params as shown in the Update a custom activity for a member API reference.

const memberId = 'janesmith04'
const activityId = '1234356'

orbitActivities.deleteActivity(memberId, activityId).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

Delete a post activity API reference.

Note Methods

const memberId = 'janesmith04'
const options = {
    page: 1
}

orbitActivities.listMemberNotes(memberId, options).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

options is not a required parameter, but can be any query parameter shown in our API reference.

Get the member's notes API reference.

const memberId = 'janesmith04'
const body = 'Had a really excellent interview with Jane today.'

orbitActivities.createNote(memberId, body).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

Create a note API reference.

const memberId = 'janesmith04'
const noteId = '12345'
const body = 'Had a really excellent interview with Jane today. Here is some more info.'

orbitActivities.updateNote(memberId, noteId, body).then(data => {
    console.log(data)
}).catch(error => {
    console.error(error)
})

Update a note API reference.
