Sapi

Sapi is a Sensis API node.js client.

This is handy when you want to use Sensis API service from a Node.js application. Sapi module provides a chainable interface to set the endpoint parameters.

Tested with Sensis API version ob-20110511.

Installation

npm install sapi

or as a dependency in package.json file:

"dependencies": {
  "sapi": "x.y.z"
}

Usage

var Sapi = require('sapi'),
  sapi = new Sapi('apikey', {
    url: 'http://api.sensis.com.au/ob-20110511/test/',
    proxy: 'http://user:pass@proxy:8080'
  });

You can apply for Sensis API key from Sensis Developer Centre.

Parameters can then be chained to an endpoint:

sapi
  .param1('value1')
  .param2('value2')
  .param3('value3')
  .endpoint(function (err, result) {
    ...
  });

Search for restaurants in Melbourne:

sapi
  .query('restaurants')
  .location('Melbourne')
  .search(function (err, result) {
    ...
  });

Get listing details by ID:

sapi
  .query('12345')
  .getByListingId(function (err, result) {
    ...
  });

Retrieve categories metadata:

sapi
  .dataType('categories')
  .metadata(function (err, result) {
    ...
  });

Send report events:

sapi
  .userIp('192.1.2.3')
  .id('VyY2UiOi')
  .content('(03) 1234 5678')
  .report(function (err, result) {
    ...
  });
