A node.js library for making calls to the HiRez Smite API.

Updated 20 Jan 2015

Added the following new calls
		- getPlayer
			List all info about a player
		- getFriends
			List all of a players friends
		- getGodRank
			List the rank of all of the gods for
			a player
		- getTopMatches
			Lists the 50 most watched / most recent
			recorded matches

How to Use

npm install smitescript

Simply include smitescript in your code and start making calls.

var smite = require('smite');

// Declare your smite developer credentials.
var devId = 'XXXX';
var authId = 'INSERT YOUR PRIVATE DEVELOPER KEY HERE';

// Create a session (Good for 15 min)
smite.createSession(devId, authKey);

// Example call to retrieve all gods in the game.
smite.getGods(devId, authKey, sessionId);
smite.getItems(devId, authKey, sessionId);

// This call will create a .json file in the local directory of the response.
// At  this point a simple fs.createReadStream can be used to read the contents or
// the contents of the file can be pushed into a mongoDB.

Here is another example for creating a session:

var sessionId;

try {
	sessionId = fs.readFileSync("session.txt", "utf8");
} catch (e) {
	if (e.code === "ENOENT") {
		sessionId = createSession(devId, authKey);
	}
}

Current Issues

The first initial call to create a session has to be made
by itself or setTimeout in order to ensure a valid sessionId
has had time to make it back from the server. This shouldn't
be a problem for webservers are you can just create a sessionID
at the first page load, but this is not a very good way of
achieving that since the API has call limits.

Currently implemented

- createSession
	Generates a session with the Smite API Server
	(Sessions last 15 min)
- getGods
	List all current gods with info on each
- getItems
	List all current items with info for each
- getPlayer
	List all info about a player
- getFriends
	List all of a players friends
- getGodRank
	List the rank of all of the gods for
	a player
- getTopMatches
	Lists the 50 most watched / most recent
	recorded matches

TODO

- Create functions for all of the API calls.
- Establish mechanism to check if a session is expired.
- Be Awesome!

Be sure and check out the package and hack away at it! I'm writing this to learn and for my own personal use. Let me know what you come up with.
