Storyblocks API (Version 2)

Storyblocks API wrapper for node.js

Installation

This module is installed via npm:

$ npm install storyblocks-api

API

Create the authorised API service you need (audioblocks or videoblocks).

const credentials = {
  privateKey: '...',
  publicKey: '...'
};
const { audioblocks, videoblocks } = require('storyblocks-api')(credentials);

Then start making your requests to Storyblocks

const params = {
  keywords: 'mountain aerial',
  page: 1,
  numResults: 5
};
const search = await videoblocks.search(params);
// search = { results: [...], totalResults: 4652 };

Parameters

The parameters argument combines both the URI parameters and the Query parameters shown in the docs.

All parameter keys can be defined in camel case to be consistent with code styling practices. All keys will be converted back to snake case for the acutal request to Storyblocks.

Response

Response objects also have their keys converted back to camel case (from the mostly, but not entirely, snake case values returned from Storyblocks).

Tests

Some tests use nock.back. These are tests that will record network traffic the first time they are run and then use those recordings as fixtures for subsequent runs.

When recording tests a valid storyblocks private and public key is required. These are set using the STORYBLOCKS_PRIVATE_KEY and STORYBLOCKS_PUBLIC_KEY environment variables. The simplest way to do this is with a .env file which will be automatically loaded by the nock.back tests. Note that .env files have been added to the .gitignore so they are never committed.

Fixtures are stored in /test/fixtures. If you need to re-record a test the simplest way is to just remove the recorded fixture and run the tests again.
