aqua-io-node-js

Official Aqua-io API library client for node.js/io.js. Currently covers Aqua.io's ICD-9 and ICD-10 APIs.

Getting Started

To use the Aqua.io API, you need to have proper API credentials, which you can get for free by signing up.

You may also want to read up on the API documentation.

Installation

Make sure you have npm installed.

$ npm install aqua-io

Versions

Works with [ 0.8 / 0.9 / 0.10 / 0.11 ]

Usage

var aquaIo = require('aqua-io');

// Then we instantiate a client (as shown below)

Build a client

Get an access token using your aqua.io credentials

var client = aquaIo.client({
    client_id: '09a8b7',
    client_secret: '1a2b3'
}, clientOptions);

var token = client.accessToken().retrieve()

All other API calls require an access token

var client = aquaIo.client({
    acess_token: token.body.access_token
}, clientOptions);

Client Options

The following options are available while instantiating a client:

• base: Base url for the api
• user_agent: Default user-agent for all requests
• headers: Default headers for all requests
• request_type: Default format of the request body

Response information

All the callbacks provided to an api call will receive the response as shown below

// You can also omit the 'methodOptions' param below
client.klass('args').method('args', methodOptions, function (err, response) {
    if (err) console.log(err);

    response.code;
    // >>> 200

    response.headers;
    // >>> {'x-server': 'apache'}
}

JSON response

When the response sent by server is json, it is decoded into a hash

response.body;
// >>> [{"short_description": "INFECTIOUS AND PARASIT...", "api_path": "icd9/001-139", "name": "001-139", "description": "INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES (001-139)"},  ... ]

Method Options

The following options are available while calling a method of an api:

• headers: Headers for the request
• query: Query parameters for the url
• body: Body of the request
• request_type: Format of the request body

Request body information

Set request_type in options to modify the body accordingly

RAW request

When the value is set to raw, don't modify the body at all.

JSON request

When the value is set to json, JSON encode the body.
