conservatory-api/node.js

The node.js conservatory-api library enables access to the RESTful API for conservatory.

Example:

var conservatory = require('conservatory-api');

var client = conservatory.createClient({
  host: 'api.nodejitsu.com',
  port: 80,
  auth: {
    username: 'charlie',
    password: 'foobar',
  }
});

client.groups.list(function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err);
    return;
  }
  
  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2, true));
});

Usage:

api.createClient(options)

This method sets up a client for connecting to conservatory. Here's a minimal example for connecting to conservatory as charlie:

var client = conservatory.createClient({
  host: 'api.nodejitsu.com',
  port: 80,
  auth: {
    username: 'charlie',
    password: 'foobar',
  }
});

The options object contains three required properties:

• auth.username: The username for your Nodejitsu account
• auth.password: The password for your Nodejitsu account
• host: The api host (typically http://conservatory.nodejitsu.com.

client

Method calls are generally structured as resource and action.

client.resource.action("data", function (err, result) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }

  //
  // use the result
  //
});

Most actions take a string argument and a callback, though a few actions only take a callback.
