API
Create a new client with the following:
var client = require("ranger").createClient("account", "api-key");
The createClient function takes two parameters:
- The account name, which is the subdomain of your account url. If your account url is
37signals.campfire.com
then your account name would be 37signals
. - The api key of the user to connect as. You can get it from the "My info" link once logged into Campfire.

client.room(12345, function (room) { console.log(room); });
Get an array of all rooms:
client.rooms(function (rooms) { console.log(rooms); });
Get an array of all rooms the api user is in:
client.presence(function (rooms) { console.log(rooms) });

anyone uses the word "soccer".
var client = require("ranger").createClient("account", "api-key");
client.room(123456, function (room) {
room.join(function () {
room.listen(function (message) {
if (message.type === "TextMessage" && message.body.match(/soccer/i)) {
