VisitorAnalytics 3AS Node SDK

A simple API wrapper for integrating the Analysis as a Service (3AS) APIs provided by Visitor Analytics

Getting started

Create an RSA Key Pair (PEM format)
Send the resulting public key (jwtRS256.key.pub) to the Visitor Analytics Dev Team
Install the library
Use the SDK instance to interract with the API

Installation

npm install @visitor-analytics/3as-sdk --save

How to use the library

import { VisitorAnalytics, LogLevel } from "@visitor-analytics/3as-sdk";

const visa = new VisitorAnalytics({
  intp: {
    id: "979c93c5-b4de-4fd2-8ecf-bfd18bfaeecb",
    privateKey: `...`,
  },
  env: "stage",
  logLevel: LogLevel.INFO,
});

Creating an RSA Key pair

Create the keypair: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -m PEM -f jwtRS256.key
Convert the public key to PEM: openssl rsa -in jwtRS256.key -pubout -outform PEM -out jwtRS256.key.pub

Concepts

Terms

INTP (Integration Partner)
The company that is integrating the analytics as a service solution (3AS)
STPs (Server Touchpoints)
Credits used to measure data usage for a given website
Customer (INTPC integration partner customer)
One user of the INTP, can have many websites
Website
The website where data will be tracked. It has a subscription with a package with a certain limit of STPs. This subscription can be upgraded or downgraded. When the website is created a tracking code snippet is returned that must be embedded within the websites HTML.
Package
A package has a price and contains a certain number of STPs. They are used when upgrading/downgrading the subscription of a website.

General

Most endpoints that deal with customers or websites support some form of an ID which can be provided and then used for all following requests.

For example creating a new customer with a website requires an intpCustomerId and an intpWebsiteId. These must be provided by the INTP and are intended to make integrations easier because there is no need to save any external IDs. Then when getting data about a customer the request is done using the same intpCustomerId provided on creation.

Example implementation flow

Create a new customer with a website
Inject the resulting tracking code in the website's HTML
Use the SDK's generate iframe url method to create an url
Show an iframe to the user with the url created previously
Show a modal to the user to upgrade his subscription
Display all the available packages using the SDK
After the payment is complete, use the SDK to upgrade the subscription of the website

Customers API

Integration partners (INTP) are able to get data about their customers (INTPc).

List all available customers

visa.customers.list();

Get a single customer by its INTP given id

visa.customers.getByIntpCustomerId(INTP_CUSTOMER_ID);

Register a new customer

visa.customers.create({
  intpCustomerId: INTP_CUSTOMER_ID,
  email: INTP_CUSTOMER_EMAIL,
  website: {
    intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
    domain: INTP_WEBSITE_DOMAIN_URI,
    packageId: PACKAGE_UUID,
    billingDate: ISO_DATE_STRING, (optional, defaults to current time)
  },
});

Customer API

List all websites belonging to an INTP Customer

visa.customer(INTP_CUSTOMER_ID).listWebsites();

Delete a Customer belonging to an INTP

visa.customer(INTP_CUSTOMER_ID).delete();

Generate the VisitorAnalytics Dashboard IFrame Url

visa.customer(INTP_CUSTOMER_ID).generateIFrameDashboardUrl(INTP_WEBSITE_ID);

Packages API

An Integration Partner (INTP) is able to get data about their packages

List all available packages

visa.packages.list();

Get a single package by ID

visa.packages.getById(PACKAGE_UUID);

Create a package

visa.packages.create({
  name: PACKAGE_NAME,
  touchpoints: TOUCHPOINT_LIMIT,
  price: FLOAT,
  currency: CURRENCY_CODE, // ex: EUR, USD, RON
  period: PERIOD, // monthly, yearly
});

Package API

An INTP can update its packages

visa.package(PACKAGE_UUID).update({
  name: UPDATED_PACKAGE_NAME,
});

Websites API

List all websites

visa.websites.list();

Get a single website by its INTP given id

visa.websites.getByIntpWebsiteId(INTP_WEBSITE_ID);

Create a website

visa.websites.create({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
  intpCustomerId: INTP_CUSTOMER_ID,
  domain: INTP_WEBSITE_DOMAIN,
  packageId: PACKAGE_UUID,
  billingDate: ISO_DATE_STRING, (optional, defaults to current time)
});

Website API

Delete a website by its INTP given id

visa.website(INTP_WEBSITE_ID)->delete();

API for managing subscription state

Upgrade - immediately applies a higher stp count package to the subscription

visa.subscriptions.upgrade({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
  packageId: PACKAGE_UUID,
  trial: true | false,
  proRate: true | false,
});

Downgrade - auto-renew the subscription at the end of the current billing interval to a new lower stp count package

visa.subscriptions.downgrade({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
  packageId: PACKAGE_UUID,
});

Cancel - disable the subscription auto-renewal at the end of the current billing interval

visa.subscriptions.cancel({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
});

Resume - re-enable the subscription auto-renewal at the end of the current billing interval

visa.subscriptions.resume({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
});

Deactivate - immediately disables the subscription, reversible by an upgrade

visa.subscriptions.deactivate({
  intpWebsiteId: INTP_WEBSITE_ID,
});

Utils API

Generate a valid access token for the current INTP configuration.

visa.auth.generateINTPAccessToken();

Generate a valid access token for the current INTPc configuration.

visa.auth.generateINTPcAccessToken(INTP_CUSTOMER_ID);
