ApiCore API

This project is aimed to help javascript developers use the AFP API ApiCore.

It provides authentication, searching for documents function, and online news product.

Getting Started

This package is available both for NodeJS and browsers. That's why two versions are available on the ./dist directory.

Prerequisites

Read the API documentation, and ask for an API Key and credentials.

Installing

Node

npm install --save afp-apicore-sdk

const ApiCore = require('afp-apicore-sdk')
// OR using import
import ApiCore from 'afp-apicore-sdk'

Browser

<script src="./dist/afp-apicore-sdk.umd.js"></script>

Let's start using it

// Initialize the API
const apicore = new ApiCore({
  clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  clientSecret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  saveToken: token => {
    // You can eventually save the token to be used later
    console.log(token)
  }
})

// Search for latest documents
apicore
  .authenticate({
    username: 'YOUR_USERNAME',
    password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
  })
  .then(() => apicore.search())
  .then(({ documents }) => {
    console.log(documents)
  })

// Get a specific document
apicore
  .get('A_SPECIFIC_UNO')
  .then(document => {
    console.log(document)
  })

// Look for similar documents
apicore
  .mlt('A_SPECIFIC_UNO')
  .then(({ documents }) => {
    console.log(documents)
  })

// Display the most used slugs
apicore
  .list('slug')
  .then(({ keywords }) => {
    console.log(keywords)
  })

Query parser

The above request use default parameters stored in ./src/default-search-params.js

You can pass your own parameters to the search function, that will overide the defaults :

apicore.search({
  products: ['news'],
  langs: ['fr'],
  urgencies: [1, 2, 3, 4],
  query: 'french politics',
  size: 10,
  dateFrom: '2012-01-01',
  dateTo: 'now',
  sortField: 'published',
  sortOrder: 'desc'
})

The query parameter can be used to look precisely for a field (title:Macron) and may include logical parameters (Macron OR Merkel, Macron AND NOT Merkel, title:(Macron OR Merkel) AND country:fra).

Integrate notification in your workflow.

Apicore have a service to send notification to a subscribed external service like mail or http endpoint.

To use it

let notification = new ApiCoreNotificationCenter(apicore)

notificationCenter.registerService({
  name: 'my-service-notification',
  type: 'mail',
  datas: {
    address: '[email protected]'
  }
}).then(uno => {
  console.log(`service created, uno: ${uno}`)

  const dontDisturb = true

  let subscription = notificationCenter.buildSubscription({
    langs: 'fr',
    urgencies: 2,
    classes: 'text'
  }, dontDisturb, {
    startTime: '22:30:00',
    endTime: '07:00:00',
    tz: 'Europe/Paris'
  })

  notificationCenter.addSubscription('sample-subscription', 'my-service-notification', subscription).then(uno => {
    console.log(`subscription created, uno: ${uno}`)
  }).catch(e => {
    console.error(e)
  })

}).catch(e => {
  console.error(e)
})

Development

Clone the repository, then npm install

Build and minify your work for browsers and node with npm run build

Running the tests

Just npm test to execute all tests in ./tests

You will need some environment variables in a .env file :

APICORE_BASE_URL=
APICORE_API_KEY=
APICORE_CLIENT_ID=
APICORE_CLIENT_SECRET=
APICORE_USERNAME=
APICORE_PASSWORD=
APICORE_CUSTOM_AUTH_URL=https://
