Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Amazon Product Advertising API client

Goals

Module provides easy access to the Amazon Product Advertising API:

Usage

Models

APIMeta properties

Represents API connection details:

{APIMeta} = require 'apa-api'

# Default options, you can skip it
options = {
    protocol: 'http'
    endPoint: 'webservices.amazon.com'
    service: 'AWSECommerceService'
    uri: '/onca/xml'
    method: 'GET'
    version: '2011-08-01'
}
meta = new APIMeta(options)

Credential

Represents API authentication data (AWS access/secret):

{Credential} = require 'apa-api'
options = {
    accessKey: "Your AWS access key",
    secretKey: "Your AWS secret key",
    associateTag: "Associate tag"
}
credential = new Credential(options)

Service

Use this client to the Amazon Product Advertising service.

{Service, ApiMeta, Credential} = require 'apa-api'
connectionDetails = {} # See above
credentialDetails = {} # See above

service = new Service(new ApiMeta(connectionDetails), new Credentials(credentialDetails), [signer], [client])

Service use the following optional members:

  • signer - Request signer, default to RequestSigner
  • client - Default to request

Service provides methods (feature enrichment in progress):

  • itemLookup - itemLookup(params) - The method checks parameters: mandatory parameters, type checking, defaults (do not send params equal to defaults).

Usage

Using defaults

async = require 'async'
concat = require 'concat-stream'
{Service, ApiMeta, Credential} = require 'apa-api'

service = new Service(new ApiMeta(), new Credentials())
itemIds = ['0123456789', '1234567890', '2345678901', ...]
async.mapLimit itemIds, 5, (itemId, callback) -> 
    service.itemLookup(itemId: itemId)
        .on 'error', callback
        .pipe concat (response) ->
            # Response can contain error has been described in xml
            # We ignore this validation in this example
            callback(null, response)
