Endpoint Examples

User

client.user.find({
  username: "foo.user",
});
client.user.findById("1234");

Bookmark List

client.bookmarkList.findById(":listId");
client.bookmarkList.createList(":userId", { /** list attributes */ });

Filtering

Most endpoints support the following types of filtering...

client.user.find({
  key: "some value",
});
// ?filter[user][key][equals]=some%20value

client.poi.find({
  place_id: {
    has_ancestor: "362228",
  },
});
// ?filter[poi][place_id][has_ancestor]=362228

client.place.find({
  name: {
    like: "nashv",
  },
});
// ?filter[place][name][like]=nashv

Pagination

You can paginate by passing in the following...

client.user.find({
  limit: 10,
  offset: 2
});
// ?page[limit]=10&page[offset]=2

Disable include service caching

If you find yourself getting back cached things via ?include...

client.user.find({
  nocache: true,
});
// ?nocache=true

Pass extra query string arguments

To pass additional non-filter query string arguments, use extras...

client.user.find({
  name: "someusername",
  extras: {
    foo: "bar"
  }
});
// ?filter[user][name][equals]=someusername&foo=bar
