Installation

npm install uwaterloo-api

Usage

First, obtain a key from http://api.uwaterloo.ca to use the API

//Require the module 
var uwaterlooApi = require('uwaterloo-api'); 

//Instantiate the client 
var uwclient = new uwaterlooApi({
  API_KEY : 'YOUR_KEY_HERE'
});

//Use the API 
uwclient.get('/foodservices/menu', function(err, res) {
  console.log(res); 
}); 

uwclient.get('/events/holidays', function(err, res) {
  console.log(res); 
});

A list of all available endpoints can be found here.

Passing parameters

In order to pass query parameters, you can either put them directly in the path provided

uwclient.get('/courses/CS/247/schedule', {}, function(err, res){
  console.log(res);
});

Or, if you prefer, add them as dynamic parameters

uwclient.get('/courses/{course_sbuject}/{course_number}/schedule', {
   course_subject : 'CS', 
    course_number : 247
  }, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

Any additional parameters provided are automatically added to the QueryString.

Testing

Running the tests requires an API_KEY as mentioned above. Once a key is obtained, set the following variable :

# In ~/.bash_profile
export uwApiToken=SOME_TOKEN

and run
