speedrunapi

install

yarn add speedrunapi or npm install --save speedrunapi

usage

This package makes use of Promises. No external library is being used, just the native one.

NOTE: This package does NOT throttle your requests, that is up to you.

Using some of the examples from the Speedrun.com docs page.

const SpeedrunAPI = require('speedrunapi')
const sr = new SpeedrunAPI()
 
sr.games()
  .exec()
    .then(response => {
      response.items.forEach(function (el) {
        console.info(el.names.international)
      })
    })

The object will always respond with two elements, items and pagination. Items can be either an array of items or a single object. Pagination can be null depending on the request.

building requests

The way this package works is by treating anything after the {id} in a docs page as a "method" and will have its own function to use. Any method that has a hyphen in it, like derived-games reverts to camelCase: derivedGames.

Use param() to add a parameter to the request. If you'd prefer to add many at once, feel free to use params(), which takes an array of objects of key=>value pairs.

To make an example, let's recreate this API request and build a request:

/api/v1/games?region=mol4z19n&released=1999

sr.games()
  .param({region: 'mol4z19n'})
  .param({released: '1999'})
  .exec()
    .then(response => {
      console.info(response)
    })

To get a single Game:

/api/v1/games/v1pxjz68 // retrieves Super Mario Sunshine.

sr.games('v1pxjz68')
  .exec()
    .then(response => {
      console.info(response)
    })

Embeds are supported too! Let's get the leaderboards for GTASA 100% and embed the game data too. yo1yv1q5 is the id for GTASA and wz27gz20 for the category of 100%.

Note the [] around the embed parameter. embed expects an array of embeds since it should only be called once.

/api/v1/leaderboards/yo1yv1q5/category/wz27gz20?embed=game

sr.leaderboards('yo1yv1q5', 'wz27gz20')
  .embed(['game'])
  .exec()
    .then(response => {
      console.info(response)
    })
