plugbotapi

An API for creating bots on plug.dj.

This API uses the official Plug API, so it should be much more stable than the old plugapi.

Installation

This API requires phantomjs version 2.0 or greater. The websockets stack in 1.9 and lower does not cooperate with plug.dj, therefore 2.0 MUST be used.

You can find information on how to compile and install 2.0 here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/phantomjs/iYyH6hF_xoQ/fTmVD8-NcFIJ

npm install plugbotapi

How to use

var PlugBotAPI = require('plugbotapi');

var plugbotapi = new PlugBotAPI({
    email: '[email protected]',
    password: 'xxxxx'
});


plugbotapi.on('roomJoin', function() {
    console.log("Connected!");

    plugbotapi.chat('Hello World');

    plugbotapi.getUsers(function(users) {
      console.log("Number of users in the room: " + users.length);
    });

    plugbotapi.hasPermission('2492d8ab9fef78dad5620a300', 'API.ROLE.NONE', function(result) {
      console.log("permission: ", result);
    });
});

// A few sample events
plugbotapi.on('chat', function(data) {
console.log("got chat: ", data);
});

plugbotapi.on('djAdvance', function(data) {
    console.log("dj advance: ", data);
});

plugbotapi.on('voteUpdate', function(data) {
console.log("vote update: ", data);
});

var room = 'some-room';
plugbotapi.connect(room);

getWaitListPosition: (userid, callback)

If the userID is in the wait list, it returns their position (0 index - so 0 means first position). Returns -1 if they're not in the wait list. If you do not pass a userID, it uses the logged in user ID.

setStatus: (value, callback)

Sets the user status (Available, AFK, Working, Sleeping). Pass an API.STATUS constant:

• API.STATUS.AVAILABLE
• API.STATUS.AFK
• API.STATUS.WORKING
• API.STATUS.GAMING

Example:

plugbotapi.moderateBanUser('xxxxx', plugbotapi.API.STATUS.GAMING, function() {
// Done
});

Returns the user's queued up media. This is an object with two properties, media and inHistory. media is the media object and inHistory is a Boolean if the media is in the room history.

getTimeElapsed: (callback)

Returns how much time has elapsed for the currently playing media. If there is no media, it will return 0.

Returns how much time is remaining for the currently playing media. If there is no media, it will return 0.

moderateBanUser: (userid, [reason], [duration], [callback])

Bans a user from the room.

Reason is an integer describing why the user is banned (but not really needed; defaults to 4).

If the bot is only a bouncer, permanent bans are not available. Specify the duration with one of the following constants:

• API.BAN.HOUR
• API.BAN.DAY
• API.BAN.PERMA

If you do not specify a duration, a permanent ban will be the default unless the bot is a bouncer, in which case the ban will be for an hour.

Example:

plugbotapi.moderateBanUser('xxxxx', plugbotapi.API.BAN.DAY, function() {
// Done
});

moderateUnbanUser: (userid, callback)

If the bot is a manager, unbans a user.

moderateDeleteChat: (chatid, callback)

• API.ROLE.RESIDENTDJ
• API.ROLE.BOUNCER
• API.ROLE.MANAGER
• API.ROLE.COHOST

Example:

plugbotapi.moderateSetRole('xxxx', plugbotapi.API.ROLE.RESIDENTDJ);

moderateMoveDJ: (userid, position, callback)

If the bot is a manager or above, move the specified user in the waitlist. Pass position 1 for the top of the list.

moderateLockWaitList: (locked, removeAll, callback)

If the bot is a manager, lock/unlock the waitlist.

woot: ()

Makes the bot woot the currently playing track. NOTE:There is no way to woot via the official Plug API, so this is and meh are sort of a hack - they appear to sporadically stop working.

meh: ()

MAkes the bot meh the currently playing track. Same note as woot applies.

Running multiple bots

If you want to run more than one bot at a time, you will have to specify an alternate port for phantomjs to run on for each bot (except for one, which will use the default of 12300):

var PlugBotAPI = require('./plugbotapi');
var plugbotapi = new PlugBotAPI(h);
plugbotapi.setPhantomPort(12301);

Debugging

If you run into problems and would like some more visibility into what the virtual browser is doing, try this:

//plugbotapi.debug.SHOWAPI = false; // set this to false to hide the official Plug API events and actions that the virtual browser is sending and receiving. (default true)
//plugbotapi.debug.SHOWOTHER = false; // set this to false to hide any other messages the virtual browser is logging to its console. (default true)

// The API emits the 'debug' event:
plugbotapi.on('debug', function(text) {
    console.log(text);
});
