Example

To use the AkamaiOPEN API you must first register the correct user credentials. You can do that through the LUNA control panel.

Basic use of the library looks like the following. This will prepare the auth header and then execute it. Remember that requests to the API are signed with a timestamp and therefore should be executed immediately.

	var EdgeGrid = require('edgegrid');

	var client_token = "akab-access-token-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
	  client_secret = "akab-client-token-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
	  access_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=";

	var data = "datadatadatadatadatadatadatadata";

	var eg = new EdgeGrid(client_token, client_secret, access_token);

	eg.auth({
	  "url": "https://akaa-baseurl-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/billing-usage/v1/products",
	  "method": "POST",
	  "headers": {},
	  "body": data
	});

	eg.send(function (data, response) {
	  console.log(data);
	});

Calls using the edgegrid client can also be chained as per the following;

	...

	eg.auth({
	  "url": "https://akaa-baseurl-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/billing-usage/v1/products",
	  "method": "POST",
	  "headers": {},
	  "body": data
	}).send(function (data, response) {
	  console.log(data);
	});
