leanpub-client

a node.js api wrapper for leanpub.com.

known issues:

• currently only supports json. a pull request adding xml support would be accepted.
• paging through all individual purchases currently isn't supported. that'll be an easy fix.

installation

npm install leanpub-client

usage example

var Leanpub = require('leanpub-client');

var apikey = process.env.LEANPUB_API_KEY;
var book = 'YOUR BOOK SLUG';

var leanpub = new Leanpub(apikey);

leanpub.sales({ slug: book, report: 'summary' }, function(err, res){
  console.log(res.total_book_royalties);
});

leanpub.sales({ slug: book, report: 'all' }, function(err, res){
  console.log(res);
});

var status = leanpub.status({ slug: book }, function(err, res){
  console.log('this is probably unnecessary')
});

status.on('response', function(currentStatus, oh){
  console.log('yeah', currentStatus.num, oh);
});

status.on('done', function(res){
  console.log('not processing', res)
});
