afpnews-api

AfpNews API

This project is aimed to help javascript developers use the AFP Core API.

It provides authentication, searching for documents function, and online news product.

Getting Started

This package is available both for NodeJS and browsers. That's why two versions are available on the ./dist directory.

Prerequisites

You'll need an API key and credentials to retrieve all content from the API.

Installing

Node

npm install --save afpnews-api

const { ApiCore } = require('afpnews-api')
// OR using import
import { ApiCore } from 'afpnews-api'

Browser

<script src="./dist/bundles/apicore.min.js"></script>

Let's start using it

// Initialize the API
const apicore = new ApiCore({ clientId, clientSecret })

// Authenticate
await apicore.authenticate({ username, password })

// Get token changed
apicore.on('tokenChanged', token => console.log(token))

// Search for latest documents
const { documents } = await apicore.search()

// Or using a generator to crawl multiple pages
for await (const doc of apicore.searchAll()) {
  console.log(doc)
}

// Get a specific document
const document = await apicore.get(uno)

// Look for similar documents
const { documents } = await apicore.mlt(uno)

// Display the most used slugs
const { keywords } = await apicore.list('slug')

Query parser

The above request use default parameters stored in ./src/default-search-params.js

You can pass your own parameters to the search function, that will overide the defaults.

The query parameter can be used to look precisely for a field (title:Macron) and may include logical parameters (Macron OR Merkel, Macron AND NOT Merkel, (title:Macron OR title:Merkel) AND country:fra).

Development

Clone the repository, then npm install

Build and minify your work for browsers and node with npm run build

Running the tests

Just npm test to execute all tests in ./tests

You will need some environment variables in a .env file :

AFPNEWS_BASE_URL=
AFPNEWS_API_KEY=
AFPNEWS_CLIENT_ID=
AFPNEWS_CLIENT_SECRET=
AFPNEWS_USERNAME=
AFPNEWS_PASSWORD=
