Installation

npm install sniffypedia

Hello Sniffypedia

Provide an identifier and any options to lookup against a URI.

const sniffypedia = require('sniffypedia');

let id = '004c'; // Bluetooth LE Company Identifier to look up
let options = { protocol: "ble", type: "companyIdentifier" };

let uri = sniffypedia.lookup(id, options);

console.log(uri);

The output should be https://sniffypedia.org/Organization/Apple_Inc/ as 0x004c is Apple's Bluetooth-assigned company identifier.

Options

sniffypedia supports the following options for its lookup function:

| Property | Default | Description | |:---------|:--------------------------|:-------------------------------------| | origin | 'https://sniffypedia.org' | URI origin to which path is appended | | protocol | null | See Indexed URIs below | | type | null | See Indexed URIs below |

Indexed URIs

The Sniffypedia index includes:

| protocol | type | Description | |:---------|:--------------------|:--------------------------------------------| | null | null | Protocol-agnostic 128-bit UUIDs | | 'ble' | 'companyIdentifier' | 16-bit Bluetooth-assigned Company Identifiers | | 'ble' | 'uuid16' | 16-bit Bluetooth-assigned UUIDs for members |

Project History

The sniffypedia project began in 2016 to associate wireless device identifiers with structured data about the products and organizations they represent, including links to websites, social media channels and images.

In 2021, sniffypedia was redesigned and updated to v1.x to better reflect the best practices for coding of the time and to couple with advlib v1.x.

sniffypedia v1.0.0 was released in April 2021, superseding all earlier versions, the latest of which remains available in the release-0.1 branch and as [email protected] on npm.
