node-artsy

A Node.js client for the Artsy private API, also known as APIv1. Artsy now has a public API, also known as APIv2, see developers.artsy.net for more information.

Install

$ npm install artsy --save

Usage

var Artsy = require('artsy');

//
// You need to generate your own XAPP token for now
// using `bin/xapp`.
//
var client = new Artsy({ token: '89438sdfgsdfga*&^*=' });

client.artists.get('jackson-pollock', function (err, artist) {
  console.dir(artist); // Abstract expressionism ftw
});

Generating an XAPP token

The authentication API for the Artsy client is not very robust yet. You need to get your own XAPP token first.

Write dist/credentials.json

{
  "id": "your-artsy-id",
  "secret": "your-artsy-secret"
}

Then run artsy-xapp

npm install -g artsy
artsy-xapp ./path/to/auth.json
