stackexchange-api

A Node.js wrapper for the StackExchange API

Documentation

Disclaimer: WIP. Doesn't work with many endpoints yet.

Features:

• stackexchange-api provides a simple way to access the StackExchange API endpoints
• All complex data types from the API have a corresponding Object
• stackexchange-api is written in TypeScript and every field of every request option / result has (will eventually have) type definitions. As a result, modern editors are able to provide extensive autocompletion.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install --save stackexchange-api

Using yarn:

yarn add stackexchange-api

Usage

Including in a project:

• ES6:

import {StackExchange} from 'stackexchange-api';

• CommonJS:

const StackExchangeApi = require('stackexchange-api');

Example usage:

import {StackExchange} from 'stackexchange-api';
StackExchange.search({ // Equivalent to the /search endpoint. Go to https://paul-soporan.github.io/stackexchange-api/classes/stackexchange.html#search for details.
  inTitle: 'nodejs',
  site: 'stackoverflow'
}).then((result) => {
  console.log(result);
  // Output: Wrapper<Question>
  console.log(result.items);
  // Output: an array of Questions (Question[])
  console.log(result.items[0]);
  // Output: the first Question
  console.log(result.items[0].viewCount);
  // Output: the view count of the first Question
});
