Usage

This library exposes 3 methods in total.

So far we've seen getParrotGif in the above snippets, but getParrotsJSON & searchParrotsByName are also available. Let's run over all 3 methods in more detail:

• getParrotGif(options, callback): This is the primary (default) method, used to return a partyparrot's gif URL.

  • options object

    • name string: Party parrot's name, case insensitive (use names as labelled here).

    • res string: The resolution for our gif, sd (default) or hd. Note, not all party parrots have HD support, in the case of a hd request on an "sd-only" parrot, the SD version will be returned.

    • path string: Optional string to set the path of where the party parrot images are located.

  • callback(gif) function: Returns the gif URL if successful.

• getParrotsJSON(callback): Returns the main json object of all parrots.

  • callback(data) function: Returns json object if successful.

• searchParrotsByName(name, callback): Returns the single object for a parrot.

  • name string: Name, case insensitive, of the parrot we're searching for (use names as labelled here).

  • callback(data) function: Returns json object for queried parrot if successful.
