Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
Kinvey (pronounced Kin-vey, like convey) makes it ridiculously easy for developers to setup, use and operate a cloud backend for their mobile apps. They don't have to worry about connecting to various cloud services, setting up servers for their backend, or maintaining and scaling them.
This node module makes it very easy to connect your Node.js app with Kinvey.
To use the library, sign up for Kinvey if you have not already done so. Go to the sign up page, and follow the steps provided.
You can add the library in three ways. The recommended way to add the module to your project is adding a dependency to package.json
:
{
...
"dependencies": {
"kinvey": "~1.6"
...
}
...
}
The module will be installed when updating your project:
npm update
Alternatively, you can install the module directly from the command line:
npm install kinvey
Finally, you can also clone the repository and create a symbolic link to the module:
git clone git@github.com:Kinvey/kinvey-nodejs.git
cd kinvey-nodejs
npm link
Now, the library is available for use in your project. Import the library in your code using require
. Next, use Kinvey.init
to configure your app:
var Kinvey = require('kinvey');
Kinvey.init({
appKey : 'App Key',
appSecret : 'App Secret'
});
You can use the following snippet to verify the app credentials were entered correctly. This function will contact the backend and verify that the library can communicate with your app.
Kinvey.ping({
success: function(response) {
console.log('Kinvey Ping Success. Kinvey Service is alive, version: ' + response.version + ', response: ' + response.kinvey);
},
error: function(error) {
console.log('Kinvey Ping Failed. Response: ' + error.description);
}
});
You are now ready to start building your awesome apps! Next we recommend diving into the User guide or Data store guide to learn more about our service, or explore the sample apps to go straight to working projects.
