Swarmapp-api

The swarmapp-api repository is a Node.js library that provides a programmatic interface to the SwarmApp API (Foursquare), which is the official API for the SwarmApp social networking app.

SwarmApp allows users to check-in to places and share their experiences with friends. The API provides various endpoints for creating and retrieving check-ins, as well as for authenticating users and managing their profiles.

The swarmapp-api library provides a set of functions that make it easy to interact with the SwarmApp API programmatically. These functions abstract away the details of making HTTP requests to the API and handling the responses, so that you can focus on building your application logic.

The library includes modules for authentication, check-ins, places, users, and more. Each module provides a set of functions that correspond to the endpoints of the SwarmApp API, making it easy to perform the most common operations.

The swarmapp-api library is designed to be used by developers who want to build integrations with the SwarmApp platform. By using the library, you can build applications that leverage the data and functionality of the SwarmApp social network, such as location-based recommendations, social analytics, and more.

Getting Started

To get started with the SwarmApp API, follow these steps:

1. $ npm i swarmapp-api

Example Usage

Let's say you want to retrieve the list of check-ins for a particular user on SwarmApp using the API.

1. First, you'll need to authenticate the user and get an access token. You can do this by calling the login function from the auth module:

   const swarmappapi = require('swarmapp-api');
   const swarm = new swarmappapi({ api_key: API_KEY });
   
   const email = '[e-mail]';
   const password = 'password123';
   const client_id = 'xxxxxxxxx';
   const client_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxx';
   
   const accessToken = await swarm.login(email, password, client_id, client_secret);
   
   

   The login function returns an object that includes the access token, which you'll use in the next step.

2. Next, you can use the access token to retrieve the list of check-ins for the user. You can do this by calling the getCheckinsByUserId function from the checkins module:

   const swarmappapi = require('swarmapp-api');
   const swarm = new swarmappapi({ api_key: API_KEY });
   
   const userId = '123';
   
   const checkins = await swarm.getCheckinsByUserId(userId, accessToken);
   
   console.log(checkins);
   
   

   The getCheckinsByUserId function returns an array of check-ins for the specified user.

   That's it! You've now retrieved the list of check-ins for the user on SwarmApp using the API.

Dependencies
