Foobot Node SDK

Foobot API documentation

This is a simple SDK that wraps the Foobot API. In order to use it, get yourself a foobot and create a user with a password and an API key (secret key).

Usage

Create a Foobot with new Foobot(user, password, key). You can also pass in the version as a fourth argument. Currently, only v2 is supported and is the default.

Use either of:

import Foobot from "foobotjs";
const Foobot = require("foobotjs").default

The API is promise-based, so all methods return promises.

Foobot

The Foobot object makes requests to the Foobot API on your behalf based on the credentials you provide.

getDevices

Returns a list of Devices associated with this user.

const devices = await foobot.getDevices();
devices.map(device => console.log(device.uuid));

getDataPoints

Requests getDataPoints for the first Device on your account. Useful if you only have one device.

Device

You shouldn't need to instantiate a device, but this object is returned from getDevices.

getDataPoints

This takes one to three arguments:

• period / start (default: 0, only start if end is provided)
• averageBy (default: 0)
• end (default: "last")

Gets data points over the requested period and provided average time. If end (third argument) is not provided, the start is considered the period and you will get the latest data points automatically. Use no arguments to get the last data point.

Example

This will get all registered devices and print out the last data point for each:

const foobot = new Foobot(USER, PASS, KEY);
(async () => {
    const devices = await foobot.getDevices();
    const dataPointResults = await Promise.all(devices.map(device => device.getDataPoints()));
    dataPointResults.map(dataPointResult => console.log(dataPointResult.datapoints[0]));
})();
