ipviking

IPViking API for Node.js

This API is designed to make IPViking calls from a Node.js app. As with other APIs, the goal is to make calling IPViking as easy as possible.

Installing

npm install --save ipviking

Simple usage

var MY_API_KEY = '12345abcdef';
var ipv = require('ipviking')(MY_API_KEY);
ipv.execute('ipq', {ip: '0.0.0.0'}, function (err, results) {
    // Handle err & results
});

And that's it! In other words, import, configure, and execute it with a callback. End of story.

Advanced configuration

Pass in a configuration object instead of an api key at the initial configure step:

var ipv = require('ipviking')({apiKey: 'asdf', proxy: 'UNIVERSAL'});

ipv also exposes its config property for later modification. See tests.js for examples.

execute

Calls the validators and builders in order, then makes the http request to the API. Lookie, it'll even hand you back a map from the JSON respone!

That's all! Told you it was simple. So what else is here?

Examples includes the sample xml docs for riskfactor and geofilter methods a la our website. tests.js includes some very basic examples of using the API in both literal mode (ie, supplying values to execute) and no-hands mode (setting config and calling execute without params).
