node library to access the Travis-CI API
Instantiation
var Travis = require('travis-ci');
var travis = new Travis({
version: '2.0.0'
});
// To access the Travis-CI Pro API
var travis = new Travis({
version: '2.0.0',
pro: true
});
API
Authentication
Many functions, such as travis.accounts, require authenticating as a user.
Currently the only way to authenticate is to start with a github oauth token, request a travis access token, and authenticate with that.
travis.auth.github({
github_token: GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN
}, function (err, res) {
// res => {
// access_token: XXXXXXX
// }
travis.authenticate({
access_token: res.access_token
}, function (err) {
// we've authenticated!
});
});
As a convenience, authenticate also accepts github tokens, or github credentials (which are only sent to github) and performs the necessary requests to aquire a travis access token. For example:
travis.authenticate({
github_token: GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN
}, function (err) {
// we've authenticated!
});
or
travis.authenticate({
username: GITHUB_USERNAME,
password: GITHUB_PASSWORD
}, function (err) {
//we've authenticated!
});
Pro Tip: Authentication is simply a convenience function that ensures your token has the required permissions, then appends your
access_tokento all subsequent requests. You can alternatively passaccess_tokento any request where permission is required.
Accounts
Accounts calls require authentication.
travis.accounts(function (err, res) {
// res => {
// "accounts": [
// {
// "id": 5186,
// "name": "Patrick Williams",
// "login": "pwmckenna",
// "type": "user",
// "repos_count": 48
// },
// {
// "id": ***,
// "name": "BitTorrent Torque Labs",
// "login": "bittorrenttorque",
// "type": "organization",
// "repos_count": ***
// },
// {
// "id": ***,
// "name": null,
// "login": "Studyokee",
// "type": "organization",
// "repos_count": ***
// },
// {
// "id": ***,
// "name": "BitTorrent Inc.",
// "login": "bittorrent",
// "type": "organization",
// "repos_count": ***
// }
// ]
// }
});
Authorization
travis.auth.github({
github_token: GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN
}, function (err, res) {
// res => {
// access_token: ***
// }
});
Additional endpoints that have not be implemented yet:

CLI
To install as a command line utility, just install globally via npm.
npm install -g travis-ci
The entire library is available via command line interface. While it uses subcommands, the api is the same as above.
travis-ci authenticate --username=pwmckenna --password=superSecret
=> {
"access_token": "F7DlolJkD15isf4KEDuh_A"
}
# or
travis-ci auth github --github_token=ef7c329fb63479eb5be9719bb8b23162072bb20d
=> {
"access_token": "F7DlolJkD15isf4KEDuh_A"
}
Pro Tip: Passing OAuth tokens or github credentials via the command line will leave them in your shell history for all to see. Please shell responsibly.
Use the access_token above in all subsequent commands that require authentication, such as requesting the builds for this project:
travis-ci repos builds --owner_name=pwmckenna --name=node-travis-ci --access_token=F7DlolJkD15isf4KEDuh_A
=> {
"builds": [
{
"id": 9630304,
"repository_id": 1095505,
"pull_request": false,
"state": "passed",
...
},
...
]
}
