mlb-api

Node.js Library for calling the MLB Stats API

Install

npm install mlb-api --save

How to use

In your project import the module like so:

const MLBStatsAPI = require('mlb-api');
const mlbStats = new MLBStatsAPI();

Optional arguments can be passed to the constructor, which include:

• host - defaults to the mlb-stats-api production host

Making requests

Each callable function takes a single argument, which is an object. The object can have one or two top level properties, which is how the query parameters, and the path parameters are passed to the library.

Example:

const response = await mlbStats.getAttendance({params: { teamId: 111, leagueId: 103, leagueListid: 103 }});

The params property represents an object describing the query parameters.

Example:

const response = await mlbStats.getGameFeed({ pathParams: { gamePk: 12345 }});

The pathParams property represents an object describing the name path parameters.

Both the pathParams and params can be passed in the object passed to any given request (where applicable to the specific request).

const response = await mlbStats.getGameFeed(params: { ...... }, { pathParams: { ...... }});
