Access the Politie Open data API with Node.js (unofficial)

• Node.js
• Politie Open data API
• Changelog

Usage

In the example below I first set up the Politie API basics. Then I geolocate my current IP at Maxmind using my geoip2ws library and send the position to the news endpoint. Finally some data is extracted and displayed on the console.

const PolitieAPI = require ('politie-api');
const politie = new PolitieAPI();

const geoip = require ('geoip2ws') ({
  userId: '12345',
  licenseKey: 'abc123',
  service: 'insights',
});

geoip ({ ip: 'me' })
  .then (geo => politie.nieuws ({
    lat: geo.location.latitude,
    lon: geo.location.longitude,
    radius: 25,
  }))
  .then (news => console.table (news, [
    'publicatiedatum',
    'titel',
    'gebied',
  ]))
  .catch (console.log)
;
