JSXAPI

API Documentation

A set of tools to integrate with the Cisco Telepresence Endpoint APIs in JavaScript.

Quick start examples

Connecting using WebSockets

const jsxapi = require('jsxapi');

jsxapi
  .connect('wss://host.example.com', {
    username: 'admin',
    password: 'password',
  })
  .on('error', console.error)
  .on('ready', async (xapi) => {
    const volume = await xapi.status.get('Audio Volume');
    console.log(`volume is: ${volume}`);
    xapi.close();
  });

Connecting using SSH

const jsxapi = require('jsxapi');

jsxapi
  .connect('ssh://host.example.com', {
    username: 'admin',
    password: 'password',
  })
  .on('error', console.error)
  .on('ready', async (xapi) => {
    const volume = await xapi.status.get('Audio Volume');
    console.log(`volume is: ${volume}`);
    xapi.close();
  });

New style API

The aim of the new style API is to improve readability, while also being more suited towards automatic type generation and auto-completion.

// Set up a call
xapi.Command.Dial({ Number: '[e-mail]' });

// Fetch volume and print it
xapi.Status.Audio.Volume
  .get()
  .then((volume) => { console.log(volume); });

// Set a configuration
xapi.Config.SystemUnit.Name.set('My System');

// Listen to feedback
const off = xapi.Event.Standby.on((event) => {
  // ...
});

// De-register feedback
off();

Old style API

// Set up a call
xapi.command('Dial', { Number: '[e-mail]' });

// Fetch volume and print it
xapi.status
  .get('Audio Volume')
  .then((volume) => { console.log(volume); });

// Set a configuration
xapi.config.set('SystemUnit Name', 'My System');

// Listen to feedback
const off = xapi.event.on('Standby', (event) => {
  // ...
});

// De-register feedback
off();

Documentation

The full API documentation can be built by running npm install in a jsxapi module directory. Documentation will be located under docs/ can then be opened in a browser.

More specifically:

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
npm install jsxapi
cd node_modules/jsxapi
npm install

Then open ./docs/index.html.
