Install

npm install al-papi

Usage

Make a request object using your api key:

// Require al-papi
var al = require('al-papi');

// Configure using your api-key
al.AlConfig('yRR2tB39jStovMy6y6xP');

// Make request object to make api calls
var req = new al.AlRequest();

POST

Post your keyword-engine-locale combination to the API:

req.post({'keyword' : 'Centaur Soirée'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.url);
  console.log(response.params);
  
  if (response.success) {
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});

Priority POST

Post your keyword to the priority queue if you need results in a more timely manner:

req.priority_post({'keyword' : 'Centaur Soirée'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.url);
  console.log(response.params);
  
  if (response.success) {
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});

GET

When you are ready to get your results you can do a GET request for your keyword-engine-locale combo:

req.get({'keyword' : 'Centaur Soirée'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.url);
  console.log(response.params);
  
  if (response.success) {
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});

Response

When making an API request a response object is returned with any errors, http response code and http reponse body.

req.get({'keyword' : 'Centaur Soirée'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode); // Status code of response
  console.log(response.url);        // The URL used for your request
  console.log(response.params);     // Original params given
  
  // success is a true/false of if the request received a 200 response code
  if (response.success) {
    // Body will be the parsed JSON response
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    // Error message if one exists
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});

Web Insight

Description

Web Insight queue takes a URL for the Partner API to scrape and parse out high level insight about the page and return the results to your callback URL passed in or set for your account.

POST

Post the URL of the page you want to gain insight into and the callback URL knowing when your results are ready to get.

req = new al.AlWebInsight();
req.post({'url' : 'http://www.qwiki.com', 'callback' : 'http://api.authoritylabs.com/callbacks?from=node'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.url);
  console.log(response.params);
  
  if (response.success) {
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});

GET

When your results are ready to get you will receive a callback that contains the information on how to get the insight on your URL. In the callback you should receive a date_created and time_created to use in your get request. You will also use your original URL posted.

req = new al.AlWebInsight();
req.get({'url' : 'http://www.qwiki.com', 'date_created' : '2012-06-14', 'time_created' : '01:50'}, function(response) {

  console.log(response.statusCode);
  console.log(response.url);
  console.log(response.params);
  
  if (response.success) {
    console.log(response.body);
  }
  else {
    console.log(response.errorMessage);
  }
});
